Symbols & Emoji Replacement

RemmyChat supports custom symbols and emoji replacement in chat messages. You can define your own codes (like :smile:, :diamond:, etc.) and their replacements (emoji, text, or MiniMessage) in a separate symbols.yml file. This feature works with both Unicode emojis and custom resource pack textures.

How it works

• Players can type codes like :smile: in chat.
• The plugin will automatically replace these codes with whatever you configure in symbols.yml.
• Supports case-insensitive codes and dashes (e.g., :smile-face:).
• Works seamlessly with resource packs for custom textures and emojis.

Example symbols.yml

symbols:
  ":smile:": "😄"
  ":heart:": "❤️"
  ":star:": "⭐"
  ":smile-face:": "😊"

You can add as many codes as you want. The replacement can be any string, emoji, or MiniMessage component. Resource pack textures will display correctly for players using the appropriate resource pack.

    display-name: ""

  local:
    permission: "remmychat.channel.local"
    radius: 100    # Chat radius in blocks
    prefix: "local" 
    hover: "local-chat"
