Emote

1.1.0 Update

This update adds emote sequences, client-side wheel shortcut editing, and per-emote player behavior controls. It also improves player skin support for GeckoLib conversions, server load management, playback stability, and the web converter.

Emote Sequences

• Added a new sequence format that allows multiple existing animations to be played in order as a single emote.
• Individual sequence steps can repeat animations a specified number of times.
• Player visibility and playback stop conditions can be configured for the entire sequence.
• Animations used only as sequence steps can set standalone: false to hide them from the regular emote menu, wheel, search, and command suggestions.
• Animations referenced by a sequence can use different player behavior settings when played independently.
• Animation files can now be organized into subdirectories under config/emote/animations, which are loaded recursively.

Emote Wheel Shortcuts

• Added client-side management of emote wheel shortcuts.
• The new Order screen allows emotes to be added, removed, and reordered.
• The first six configured shortcuts appear on the first wheel page.
• Wheel shortcut settings are stored separately for each server.
• Newly discovered emotes are automatically appended without changing the existing shortcut order.

Player Behavior Controls

• Added per-emote player visibility and playback stop conditions.
• Emotes can be configured to stop when the player:
  • moves beyond a configured distance;
  • jumps;
  • becomes submerged;
  • starts riding;
  • takes damage;
  • attacks; or
  • changes game mode.
• These settings are supported by both regular animations and sequences.

GeckoLib Converter Improvements

• Improved GeckoLib conversion to support applying the playing player's skin.
• Player body parts in GeckoLib models are converted to use the corresponding player skin regions.
• Parts that are not assigned to the player skin keep their original GeckoLib textures.
• Fixed an issue where stale animator bone references could remain during GeckoLib animation conversion.

Server Load Management

• Replaced several fixed animation complexity limits with a server-wide active Display Entity limit.
• Added the max_active_display_entities setting to config.json.
• Playback is rejected before entities are spawned if starting an emote would exceed the configured server-wide limit.
• The default limit is 512 Display Entities, and 0 disables the limit.
• The 8 MiB animation JSON file size limit and 10-minute animation duration limit remain in place.

Admin and Server Changes

• Renamed /emote load-test to /emote stress-test.
• Improved /emote list to show more detailed source and registration information.
• Sequence-only animations remain visible to administrators and can still be enabled or disabled.
• /emote reload now stops active playback before applying the newly loaded animation state.

Web Converter Improvements

• Added a loading screen while conversions are being processed.
• Prevented multiple conversions from running at the same time and conflicting with each other.
• Added a control for resetting the preview view.
• Improved preservation of additional Emote metadata during conversion.
• Exported animations are now limited to a maximum duration of 10 minutes to match the server runtime limit.
• Improved resource pack export and merging behavior.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

• Improved restoration of player visibility and equipment when an emote ends.
• Improved handling of playback lifecycle events when they trigger additional playback state changes.
• Fixed MineSkin notifications appearing after their associated task had already been cancelled.
• Improved cleanup of active emotes and related resources during server shutdown.
