How to get emotes in Minecraft easily

In Minecraft, players can use emotes to make their characters do silly animations. Emotes are exclusive to the bedrock edition of Minecraft, and players can equip up to 6 emotes at a time. Players may notice that their character will receive a new emote when certain achievements are completed.

Some Minecraft emotes are simpler than others, and some will only be granted to players when specific achievements are completed. There are different rarities of emotes as well.

Some emotes are rare, and others can be uncommon and common. Emotes were not added to the game immediately. They were added later in the 1.15 update.

Emoting in Minecraft can be different for every platform of the game, Since each platform has its own specific navigation tool (keyboard & mouse, controllers, etc).

Players can get new emotes by completing challenges or achievements in Minecraft. Players will start with the "Wave", "Simple Clap", and "Over There" emotes by default.

Some of the other emotes that players can unlock by completing challenges include "The Hammer," "Diamonds To You!" and "The Pickaxe."
