Emotes

Emotes are a part of the character creator that allows players to perform animations.

Usage

The character creator includes emotes. Several emotes are available for free, purchase, and as achievement rewards. The player can "equip" up to 6 of their emotes at a time. When in a world, pressing B, or on Xbox One controllers, / on Nintendo Switch controllers, on PlayStation 4 controllers, or tapping button on the top of the screen opens the emote menu. The player can then click on an emote to perform the animation.

• It actually doesn't matter whether the player is submerged (partially or fully) in a liquid (water or lava), flying, falling, levitating, or on dry land, just as long as the player isn't riding anything, the player would still perform the emote.
