Creating Custom Animations with External Tools

Designing Your Emote

You can design original character animations outside of the game using external 3D modeling and animation software supported by the mod.

1. Launch an external design tool such as Blockbench or Blender.

2. Create a custom movement sequence for the player model, such as dynamic jumping gestures, side-facing greetings, emotional poses, or custom idle animations.

3. Keep the movements fluid and verify that limbs and head rotations animate as intended within your chosen editor.

Exporting to Emotecraft

1. Once your animation is finalized, save or export your emote file from Blender or Blockbench.

2. Open your .minecraft/emotes directory, which can be reached manually or by clicking the folder button located in the in-game config screen.

3. Move the newly exported animation file directly into the emotes folder.

4. Join a world or server, press B to bring up the circular selection wheel, and click your new custom emote to test its movements in-game.
