Emoting in Minecraft Bedrock Edition: Complete guide

Minecraft players can get emotes through a variety of ways, but even for beginners, there are a couple of default ones. The following emotes are completely free:

• Wave
• Simple Clap
• Over There

Others can be unlocked through various achievements and activities in Minecraft.

• The Hammer – Unlocked by completing the Acquire Hardware Achievement. This achievement is earned by smelting an iron ingot in a furnace.
• Diamonds To You! – Unlocked by completing the Diamonds to You! Achievement. This achievement is earned by throwing diamonds to another player.
• The Pickaxe – Unlocked by completing the Adventuring Time Achievement. This achievement are unlocked by exploring 17 different biomes.

As the game progresses, more emotes will become available. Mojang plans to continue introducing new ones, with most of them probably attached to achievements as well. Currently, there aren't any purchasable emotes.

In order to use an emote, players can simply click the letter B on PC or use the left button on the D-pad for Xbox One, PS4 and Switch. This will bring up the emote menu.

Players can then select one and press the corresponding button. The character will then perform the emote until it is interrupted or finished.

Players can emote at any time by following these steps. Emoting doesn't provide any advantages, but it is a fun and creative addition to the game.
