Enhances emojis all across Valheim, adds new ones, and even lets you add your own!
About this mod Author’s original text
RichEmoji
All the emojis you ~~never asked for~~ could ever ask for, now in Valheim!
Features
- Discord-style shortcodes - type:wave: and it becomes 👋
- Autocomplete - start typing a shortcode and pick from a list of matching emojis
- Custom emoji support - add your own PNG files and use them in Valheim as emojis (see below)
- Multiplayer compatible - other players with the mod can still see your emojis, everyone else sees shortcodes
- Paste support - optionally copy and paste Unicode emojis from the web / emoji picker
- Twemoji - Includes Twitter emojis (you can add your own, too) so you'll have plenty to start (~1900 emojis)
You can use these emojis almost everywhere: chat, signs, tame names, portal tags, map pins, and your favorite chat mods.
Usage
Shortcodes
Type a shortcode matching your emoji's filename and it'll be replaced with the matching sprite::wave: -> wave.png:thumbsup: -> thumbsup.png
You can also directly paste the emoji if it has a Unicode mapped to it.
Autocomplete
Type: followed by at least two letters (e.g.:th) and a list of matching emojis pops up above the text box.
| Key | Action |
|--------------|----------------------------|
| Up / Down | Choose an emoji |
| Tab / Enter | Insert the selected emoji |
| Esc | Close the list |
If you don't want to see it, set Autocomplete = false in BepInEx/config/Ron4242.github.RichEmoji.cfg, or toggle it in-game with
ConfigurationManager.
Adding your own emojis
All emojis are loaded from the RichEmoji config folder found at BepInEx/config/RichEmoji/emojis/
- The file name is the shortcode, so party_parrot.png becomes:party_parrot:
- You can nest folders to keep things organized and easy to share
- On first launch, the bundled emojis are copied into this folder. After that it's all yours. Feel free to remove packs you don't want
- To restore the default emojis, delete the emojis folder and restart the game
For more info, like how to support Unicode mapping, check the usage wiki!
Installation
- Make sure you have the BepInEx Valheim Pack dependency
- Install Mod Manager, r2modman, Gale or manually
- For manual install, extract the archive to BepInEx/plugins/
- Launch the game once to load the bundled emojis
- Put any custom emoji PNGs into the emojis/ folder inside the config directory: BepInEx/config/RichEmoji/emojis/
Notes
Should be compatible with everything.
Please report any broken or malformed Unicode emojis (provided they're valid) to ro_n on Discord, and I'll get them
fixed.
- Multiplayer: This mod is client-sided and does not need to be installed on the server. Emojis are converted to their shortcodes, so what
other players see depends on their own emoji pack. If they have a matching shortcode, they'll see their own version of
it (e.g.:joy: can show up differently based on what that image is in their files).
See the changelog for planned features.
Contact
If you have a bug, suggestion, issues using or installing the mod, or even something nice to say, shoot me a DM or mention on Discord! I'm also in the above servers (they are not mine!)
I know there's not enough emojis on this page, but I don't really like them... 😔
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
