Emotes

Emotes are a part of the character creator that allows players to perform animations.

Usage
The character creator includes emotes. Several emotes are available for free, purchase, and as achievement rewards. The player can "equip" up to 6 of their emotes at a time. When in a world, pressing on a keyboard,,  / or  on a controller, or tapping  button on the top of the screen opens the emote menu. The player can then click on an emote to perform the animation.



Planned animations
These animations were shown at MINECON Live 2019, but have not yet been made available:
 * "Celebrate"
 * "Follow Me"

Trivia

 * It actually doesn't matter whether the player is submerged (partially or fully) in a liquid (water or lava), flying, falling, levitating, sneaking, or on dry land, just as long as the player isn't riding anything, the player would still perform the emote.
 * In the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the simple clap emote is used for Steve's clap animation when he loses a battle.
