# Emotes Datapack
\nThis datapack adds animated emotes you can use without any resource pack or dependencies!<\/p>\n
## Using emotes
\nOnce you unlocked an emote, you can run `\/trigger emote` to view the Emotes Menu. Here, you can view your unlocked emotes, as well as play them or give you the shortcut.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Click **[PLAY]** on an emote to play that emote. <\/p>\n
If you click **[GIVE]**, it will give you an item which lets you play that emote anywhere. You can hold the item and press F (move it to offhand) to play the emote.<\/p>\n
## Unlocking emotes
\nYou unlock different emotes at different XP levels. Here is the list of all the emotes you can unlock:
\n– **Wave Emote (Level 5)** – A simple emote which can be used for a greeting or to say bye!
\n– **Point Emote (Level 10)** – Point your hand forwards!
\n– **Big Wave Emote (Level 15)** – Wave with both your hands for more attention!
\n– **Clap Emote (Level 20)** – Give a round of applause with this clapping emote!
\n– **Nod Head Emote (Level 30)** – Nod your head in agreement
\n– **Shake Head Emote (Level 30)** – Shake your head in disagreement!<\/p>\n
## Notes
\n– You should probably go in F5 when playing an emote.
\n– Emotes have a cool down. You can see the cooldown amount by hovering over the item in your inventory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
