🌟 Why Choose HeadEmotes?

Most emote and bubble plugins force players to download heavy server resource packs, install client mods, or suffer from laggy armor stands.

HeadEmotes changes the game:

  • 🚀 100% Vanilla Compatibility: Built using modern Display Entities (ItemDisplay & TextDisplay) introduced in Minecraft 1.20+. Every player sees the 3D emotes without any client mods or texture packs!
  • 🎬 Smooth Client-Side Interpolation: Emotes pop in with a bouncy spring animation, float and bob smoothly above the player's head, and pop out with particles and audio feedback.
  • 💬 3D Overhead Chat Bubbles: Speech bubbles float above player heads when they talk in chat, bringing life and immersion to your server.
  • ⚡ Zero-Lag Architecture: Lightweight per-tick updates with automatic cleanup on player death, teleport, disconnect, or server reload. Never leave behind floating ghost entities!
  • 🌍 6 Built-in Languages: English (en), German (de), Spanish (es), Russian (ru), French (fr), and Polish (pl) with 100% localized menus, keywords, and messages.
  • 🔕 Silent Mode & Toggleable Chat: Server owners and players can silence chat feedback messages for a completely clean, spam-free experience.
  • 🎨 16+ Built-in Emotes: Heart, GG, Laugh, Fire, Crown/MVP, Profit, RIP, Wave, Cry, Question, Shock, Music, Sleep/AFK, PVP, Shield, and Totem Clutch ready out-of-the-box.
