How to use
Custom emojis without replacing vanilla glyphs
This generates a Bedrock resource pack that fills font/glyph_E2.png. The atlas is a 16×16 grid of tiles; each tile maps to a Unicode private-use codepoint (U+E200 through U+E2FF). With the pack active, typing one of those characters in chat, on a sign, or in a book renders your custom icon.
Vanilla Bedrock mainly uses glyph_E0 and glyph_E1 for interface symbols. E2 is unused by vanilla, so this pack adds emojis without replacing built-in icons. Ore UI screens do not render custom glyph emojis.
1. Add icons
Upload 1 to 256 transparent PNG files or draw a pixel icon. Each occupied tile receives one private-use Unicode character.
2. Install the pack
Download the .mcpack, open it with Minecraft Bedrock and activate the resource pack in the target world.
3. Paste characters
Copy a character from the included cheat sheet and paste it into chat, a sign or a book while the pack is active.
Minecraft Emoji Pack FAQ
Why use glyph_E2.png?
The E2 private-use range provides 256 slots from U+E200 to U+E2FF and avoids replacing the E0 and E1 sheets that contain many vanilla interface symbols.
What does high-resolution change?
If any emoji is marked high-resolution, the entire atlas becomes 512 by 512 with 32 pixel tiles. Other icons are scaled with nearest-neighbor filtering so their edges remain sharp.
Will the character look like an emoji outside Minecraft?
Usually not. Private-use characters have no universal appearance, so another app may show a blank box. The matching resource pack supplies the image inside Minecraft.
Does this work in Minecraft Java Edition?
No. This generator targets the Bedrock glyph atlas and .mcpack format. Java resource packs use a different font provider system.
