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 4 of their emotes at a time. When in a world, pressing B on a keyboard, , / or on a controller opens the main emote selection menu. A quick-emote selection menu also can be quickly accessed by holding aforementioned emote button and then selecting the corresponding input from the small pop-up window. When using touch controls, tapping button on the top of the screen while in a world opens the emote menu. The player can then tap an emote to perform the animation. There is no quick-emote menu for touch controls.

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 or if a player resigns from a battle, resulting in a "No Contest" screen.
• The "Celebrate" emote was shown at MINECON Live 2019, but has not been made available.
