<cat>Play.Hosting</cat> <title>Server Custom Emojis</title> ### Since the monthly Rust update of the 3rd of August 2023, it is possible for servers to implement custom emojis that players can use in chat. <upload src="a5436/8db9376db840492.mp4" size="29491076" name="emoji_video.mp4" /> # How do I add custom emojis to my server? There are a few technical requirements for what images can be used for emojis : - No bigger than 256*256 pixels - Must be `.jpg` or `.png` file format (note: `.jpg` won't support transparency) - Must be less than `250kb` in file size - 8bit and 16bit Png do not work⤶ ## Where do I put my emoji files? Emojis should go into a folder named `serveremoji` in your Rust server's directory alongside the `cfg` folder and all player data. Emojis can be reloaded on the fly with the `server.resetserveremoji` command. It re-scans the serveremoji folder on the server, but clients will need to reconnect to get the latest emojis. <upload src="a5436/8db9364e79ef86e.png" size="204996" name="image.png" /> <note>The emoji name when used in-game will be whatever the file is called in the `serveremoji` folder. ie; poop.png will be :poop: in game. 💩</note> # Offensive emojis <warning>Servers that use emojis containing offensive / NSFW / abusive or any other bad / illegal / immoral content will be blacklisted from the Rust Server Browser by Facepunch Staff. Please ensure only safe and fun emojis are used.</warning> Alistair — Monday Aug 7, 2023 at 8:46 AM ET • Emoji Skin tone removal due to increased derogatory and racial content in chat # Players disabling emojis For any reason, a player may want to disable all emojis or emojis provided by the server they are playing on.
