v1.8.3

• Added hook for DiscordSRV Staff Chat
• Added support for escaping shortcuts
  • i.e. if you have shortcuts enabled (/emojichat toggle) and you type \:), it won't turn into an emoji. Instead, it will turn into :).

• Fixed an issue where 1.13 versions of Spigot couldn't run the plugin
• Misc. bug fixes

v1.8.2

• Added support for 1.14

v1.8.1

• Fixed an issue where the resource pack hash could be grabbed incorrectly, resulting in Minecraft not loading the pack
• Updated the update checker to support bigger version numbers

More emojis coming soon!

v1.8

• Added support for 1.13
  • You can now use the pack-quality config option to choose if you want HD or SD pack quality.
    Note that 1.13 doesn't support HD quality, so if your server configuration allows any Minecraft versions 1.13 or higher to join, you'll need to use SD quality so they can properly see emojis.
• Added 135 new emoji
  • 102 Minecraft themed emoji
  • 33 normal emoji
• Emojis were updated to the latest version, so you may notice small changes such as coloring
• Emojis now fill the full space of the character, making them look a lot better than before
  • pack-variant 2 is now the default pack variant because of a bug that causes Minecraft to not load pack information in older versions of Minecraft. This causes emojis with pack-variant 1 to be clipped by one pixel. More info can be found on the Mojang Bug Tracker.
    If you're upgrading from an older version of EmojiChat, I'd recommend changing your pack-variant to 2 unless you have the emojis-on-signs option enabled to ensure maximum compatibility.

v1.7

• Added 42 new emoji
• Added sign support
  • Set emojis-on-signs to true in your config to use this feature
• Added command support
  • Set emojis-in-commands to true in your config to use this feature
  • You can choose what commands are able to be used by setting only-command-list to true and modifying command-list.
• Added pack variants (resolves #1), which allows you to pick what language's characters are being replaced with emojis
  • You can currently change it from Korean to Chinese by changing pack-variant to 2
• Added tab completion for /emojichat sub-commands
• Emojis are now sorted by catagory in /emojichat list
• Added TelegramChat support
• Misc. bug fixes

v1.6

Happy New Year!

• Added 25 new emoji
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed an error caused by having fix-emoji-coloring enabled in the config without color applied on a chat message
  • Fixed a possible config issue
• The config updater will update your config with a few changes (supports updating from config version 1 or 2 to config version 3)

Here are some plans for 2018:

• Many more emojis
• Other language support
• An API (if there's a need/people want one)

v1.5

• Added 92 new emoji
• Added /emojichat toggle, which toggles shortcut use on and off
• Updated the chat color fixer
  (emojis should now display correctly while using colored chat plugins when you enable fix-emoji-coloring in the config)
• Added download-resourcepack option to the config, which allows you to disable automatic download of the resource pack
• Added a config updater, so your config will automatically update every release with config changes/updates

• Added DiscordSRV hook, allowing messages from Minecraft to be translated correctly onto Discord, and vice versa (wiki)

• /emojichat list is now sorted alphabetically

  • Disable emojis that you either won't use or don't find appropriate for your server. There are 5 default disabled emojis that you can re-enable, keep, or add on to

v1.3
