Player Emotes

Origin and History

Player Emotes is a free plugin that I created in April of 2016. When it began, it was made to be a small plugin that just ran text when a player ran a command. At that point it was more for me to test concepts than to have something that was useful. As time went on, I started to test new features, and continue to update, for Player Emotes.
Within a month I had decided to make the plugin a premium resource, and leave the current version free.
The premium version is actively developed, with new features added often.

Features

Player Emotes has a rather small feature set, compared to it's premium version, but still has a few features that would be useful for servers that are looking for a free alternative.

Visual Effects

Chat Messages
This is the key feature of Player Emotes, as there are only a few features in the plugin to begin with. This feature simply displays a chat message with the message that is setup for the emote.
Particles
The particle system in Player Emotes is very rudimentary as it was my first attempt using particles. The particle effects use a particle shape/design, as well as a particle type. The admins cannot select a specific particle type to use.
Sounds
The sound effects available in Player Emotes Pro are any of the sounds available in Minecraft, and when used will play the sound effect for the player.

Background Features

Commands
Each emote has a command to allow the user to easily run it, and can also add a player's name to target the player with the emote.
In addition to the emotes, the player can also use commands to open the menu and reload the plugins files.
Menu
The menu system in this plugin is only for emote selection and target selection.
Emote Creation
The emote creation is done through the use of YAML files, and cannot be edited in game with menus.
