Bedrock Emoji Viewer
A VS Code extension that displays Minecraft Bedrock custom emoji glyphs inline in your editor.
Features
- Inline Emoji Display: Automatically shows emoji images next to Unicode escape sequences
- Hover Information: Hover over
\uXXXX to see glyph details and a larger preview
- Auto-Detection: Scans for
glyph_XX.png files in your workspace
- Real-time Updates: Updates decorations as you type
- Vanilla Emoji fallback: Uses
glyph_E0.png and glyph_E1.png if they are not used in the workspac
File Structure
Place your Bedrock emoji glyph files in one of these locations:
./font/./<any-folder>/font/ (searches up to 3 levels deep)
Glyph Files
Name your files as glyph_XX.png where XX is a hex value (00-FF)
Each glyph file should contain a 16x16 grid of emojis.
In Your Code
Use actual Unicode characters (not escape sequences):
const text = "Hello World"; // Where is the actual U+E000 character (0xE000)
The extension will replace the Unicode character with the emoji image from your glyph files.
Unicode Emoji Insertion
The extension provides a command to quickly insert Bedrock emoji characters based on Unicode values or glyph pages.
Insert by Unicode code point
After typing any of the following formats, press Ctrl + Shift + U to insert the corresponding emoji character:
0xXXXX
\uXXXX
U+XXXX
XXXX
Where XXXX is a hexadecimal Unicode value (for example E000).
Insert from a glyph page (XX)
After typing one of the following formats, press Ctrl + Shift + U to open a glyph picker:
0xXX
\uXX
U+XX
XX
XX is a hexadecimal glyph page (00–FF)- Displays all emojis from the corresponding
glyph_XX.png
- Select an emoji to insert it into the editor
Settings
- Hide Source Char: Hide the original Unicode emoji character and only show the icon.
- Ignore Transparent Glyphs: Ignores glyphs that are completely transparent during loading.
Notes
- Inserts the actual Unicode character, not an escape sequence
- Glyphs are resolved from workspace font files or the vanilla fallback
- Hex values are case-insensitive
