### 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.

# 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.

<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>

# Players disabling emojis

For any reason, a player may want to disable all emojis or emojis provided by the server they are playing on.

The User Interface tab of the in-game Options allows you to do this :
