Emote

Emotes are cosmetical items from the Dressing Room that allow players to perform animations.
Usage
The Dressing Room includes a section for emotes. Some emotes are available for free, while most are obtained using Minecoins, from Marketplace packs, and as achievement rewards. The player can "equip" up to 4 of their emotes at a time. When in a world, pressing B on a keyboard, or
,
/
,
or
on a controller opens the main emote selection menu. A quick-emote selection menu also can be quickly accessed by holding aforementioned emote button and then selecting the corresponding input from the small pop-up window. When using touch controls, tapping
button on the top of the screen while in a world opens the emote menu. The player can then tap an emote to perform the animation.
Whenever a player performs an emote, a message in the chat is shown for all players describing the emote, which can be disabled in the chat settings.

Issues
Issues relating to "Emote" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.
Trivia
- It actually does not matter whether the player is submerged (partially or fully) in a liquid (water or lava), flying, falling, levitating, sneaking, or on dry land, just as long as the player isn't riding anything, the player would still perform the emote.
- In the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the simple clap emote is used for Steve's clap animation when he loses a battle or if a player resigns from a battle, resulting in a "No Contest" screen.
- The "Celebrate" emote was shown at MINECON Live 2019, but has not been made available.[2]
- The Fake Death emote can be used to conceal the player inside of a wall by using the emote when one is in a corner.
