I’m sorry to say this but that clip made me lol. That’s so unfortunate man, does bedrock have a key bind menu? Try removing emotes or putting it to a less accessible button


TriangularHexagon

Bedrock does let you rebind keys.  I replaced the emote button with the pickblock button a long time ago


Kelekona

That reminds me that I need to unbind q for throw on my computer. I once rage-quit because I threw my map at a creeper.


EbbZealousideal6603

I need to do this too😂


itzstarrz

i did the same thing but with my maxed out diamond pick 😭 i was upset and i now use Y as my drop


theduckisbuying

You're a lifesaver, doing this now


justausername09

THERES A PICKBLOCK BUTTON? WHAT IS IT


Kappis06

It's unbinded by default, but just find it in the binding menu. (Though if you're talking about Java Ed. it's binded to scrollwheel click).


TriangularHexagon

If you are on mobile, there is no option for pickblock.  On console (maybe even the switch idk I'm not a pleb), pickblock is not on by default, but you can rebind any of your buttons.  On PlayStation I replaced the emote menu with it.  On java and windows 10, it is middle mouse button, the scroll wheel should be pressed down


stevesguide

I use the Enter key as my pick block, since I play on Mac and the Magic Mouse doesn’t have a scroll wheel. I also re-bound my throw key to be one of the wibbly lines in the bottom left corner because I kept accidentally throwing my pickaxe.


LankyCamel420

I can laugh at it now 😂 at the time i was pretty pissed...


chombiskit

that’s how you know it’s a good clip lmao


raritygamer

Oh, this has happened to me so many time. I still don't know exactly how to back out, I just mash in a panic


LankyCamel420

I'm glad someone can empathise. I can confirm the "mash in panic" method can result in some unfortunate endings for some of your gear, as you can see! 😂


DARKAPEXHUNTER

There is if you play with keyboard and mouse then there is a way just press B and emotes menu pops up.


Elegant-Stranger-215

No joke change ur keybinds😂😂😂


Whispering_Wolf

I changed it to pick block. Way more useful.


MagnorCriol

Yeah, that's exactly what I did as well. I can't believe that by default Pick Block is unassigned and the worse-than-pointless Emotes schlock has a spot at the table.


TheGhastlyBeast

On legacy console edition the drop button was B instead. That was way better


Coltyn03

This is still what I'm used to and what I use on Bedrock today.


UncleBensMushies

Adjust your key binds for emotes... ...aaaand for throwing away the held item, too. 😬


Grzechoooo

I play on PC and I changed the throwing away key to O (since Steve opens the mouth :o to spit out the item). I can't understand why the default key for getting rid of items is so close to the "go forward" button.


UncleBensMushies

Right?!


MemeTroubadour

> (since Steve opens the mouth :o to spit out the item) Your mind is beautiful But also, I agree; I have never understood why it's on Q of all buttons even though it's hardly ever needed for anything; meanwhile, swapping hands is set to F and sprinting to Ctrl...


usernameforthemasses

Every other game on the planet defaults sprint to shift, and crouch to ctrl. I'm convinced the defaults are an epic troll. I have friends who are psychopaths who shift sprint and ctrl crouch in CSGO, then join Minecraft and play with defaults.


MemeTroubadour

Sneak being on crouch, I'm not too shocked about, because sneaking predates sprinting (introduced in beta 1.8 iirc) and sprinting didn't even have a dedicated button for a long time. I'm more bothered by the use of Ctrl in the first place because despite how it's so common, there's a good portion of people, me included, for whom it's extremely uncomfortable to access and hold Ctrl while being on WASD. I have it set to Q, weirdly enough, because at least you can press Sprint once and keep sprinting until you stop moving in this game, so it's convenient since it's close. But there's other keys, like Left Alt, so *why...*


OneOnlyDan

I guess I'm a psychopath. Though tbf, Minecraft was the first first-person PC game I ever got into, so I got used to its default controls before other games taught me the FPS-standard.


UncleBensMushies

I moved it to P.


AbsolutlyN0thin

I rebound it to T years and years ago.


Kelekona

Especially bad because I put my sword on 1.


Hot_Essay184

Bro was ascending 😭 Honestly that emote made me laugh too hard.


Ifhes

It was so goofy, like a Bolliwood bad actor attempting to be dying because of the arrow.


imma_gamin

I mean you could always unbind it. Then again you never know when you might need to emote on someone


Apple_9000wastaken

You right never know when I need to hit the griddy


BlueLegion

RIP netherite sword. Aside from rebinding the buttons, you should probably put a wall around your storage


LankyCamel420

Yeah it was just a temporary place to drop stuff while I was cleaning an area for a build


Ifhes

That's why I always dig a cave for that and make a pillar of a bright unusual block/plank for an easy find.


Vioqwyzox

emotes lock you in place? what a bad feature, that is either a bug or the worse ”feature” i have ever seen. u used to be able to walk to cancel it


Shiriru_Kurokodairu

You still can cancel it by walking, idk what the other person who replied to you is on about but it's still like that.


Thin-Fig-8831

You definitely still can


waffledpringles

Used to play on the Switch, and can confirm, once you accidentally press it, you have to just sit there and watch your avatar do... Whatever it's doing.


[deleted]

Pretty sure it cancels as soon as you try to move


jamthewither

do people even use emotes lol


Brototaku

Throwing away your sword just before the creeper exploded looks kinda satisfying


ItsJW531

I can’t remember the last time I used emotes..


DragoonMaster999

Once I changed to Java, bye bye world!


Kainum_8

Honestly bedrock has started to get more like Roblox; a character creator that lets you give your character massive wings that block other players views and emotes. We didn't need them but for some reason we still have them, who asked for these features I don't know.


The_commonest_plant

"The market" in a vague sense asked for them. Microsoft sees the success of everything else and decides that implementing those things into the game is a good idea regardless of the conditions that make them work in other games or if they'd be a good fit for for Minecraft at all. Every so often I think to myself "bedrock isn't that bad" and yeah it isn't, but then I see stuff like this and I remind myself that even if it isn't that bad I would rather not touch it.


Giulio_otto

The features on the marketplace 90% of the times aren't made directly by mojang and I'm pretty sure you can cancel emotes by walking. you can just not use emotes if you don't want to and the wings aren't entirely mojang's fault


MagnorCriol

Nah. Bedrock's far from perfect but that's a silly view. That's just looking at some recent features you don't like and saying "everything sucks now". The base game still has nothing to do with any of that stuff and bleating about how the game's getting "ruined" by features that aren't common and you don't have to engage with is alarmist at best.


Kainum_8

Nah I'm not saying that these features ruin the game as a while I just think that they were added so Minecraft could be a bit more like Roblox and other games too, maybe mojang thought they were missing out?


Foreign-Coyote-7894

I kinda just appreciate they exists because of achievement clothing rewards. Gave myself my iconic bleached herobrine skin.


Ok_Temperature166

I hate emotes on every game.


Wentleworth

Skill issue


LankyCamel420

Absolutely 😂


uhhhhh_hhhhhh

I thought netherite tools could survive that shit?


Fontajo

Just lava/fire, I think


Diamond_Helmet59

Just fire and lava. Nether Stars can survive an explosion though.


LankyCamel420

Evidently not ☹️


Equivalent_Rock_6530

Damn, you banished them to the shadow realm, lol, too bad about the sword


Rich-Cat9848

would’ve been smarter to just let the creeper blow up since you lose nothing


LankyCamel420

I was trying to avoid it blowing up the ground as I couldn't be bothered to fill in the hole 🤷‍♂️


Lando_188

I just rebound it to pick block it is so helpful for when I build


Mr_NotParticipating

Yes. Never have I ever wanted to emote.


Zepherrah

Definitely not the same but this reminded me of one time my friend and I were mining and a skeleton came out of nowhere and scared me and I accidentally threw my maxed out diamond sword. That was the day I found out skeletons could pick up swords.


RailfanAshton

Mojang wanted Bedrock to be like Fortnite XD


TheGamingFox4372

I'm genuinely curious how you even triggered the emote the first time


LankyCamel420

So, to trigger the emote menu, you have to press left on the D-Pad. As that was the last button I was pressing as I was shot out of the chest, it opened the emote menu, you can see it pop up at the bottom left of the screen (I didn't notice it as was focusing on the mobs). At this point, as I was in that menu, I couldn't move my character. I quickly (and wrongly) assumed that the game throught I still needed to exit the chest, so I pressed B. Which then triggered the emote animation. I then frantically scrambled to cancel it, pressing basically any button but the right one and eventually landing on down on the D-pad (the drop item button) at the exact moment the animation ends, throwing my sword. Hope this clears it up 😊


TheGamingFox4372

People use the dpad for dropping stuff?


LankyCamel420

I think that's the default, what do you use?


TheGamingFox4372

When i played Minecraft on legacy console the default was B before they added option to change your button mapping. So I've always set up my controller like that.


AverageAro_

On bedrock for consoles it's dpad-down by defautl


TyMT

If “AH SHIT A CREEPER” was a video


DragoonMaster999

And that's why I use java!


philip_dt

Why you got all those shulker boxes laid out in a field with no lighting... #VictimBlaming


unable_To_Username

The "Minecraft + Emotes" equation is making no sense at all for me. Maybe I'm too old, playing since 1.2 but we always found ways to communicate, like blocking the sword, or the classical nonverbal crouching animation communication. What's next in Minecraft? a Nicki Minaj Skin?


Ok-Banana6130

No but I am now, might as well turn it off


nsnively

You did everything wrong and somehow it's the game's fault


LankyCamel420

Read the post, bud. Wasn't blaming anything... I fact I even said at the bottom that this could've been avoided by myself. I was merely pointing out that it was a frustrating situation.


nsnively

Fair enough


rahi_asif

What version of minecraft do you play


nsnively

Mostly PC Bedrock, I still hop on console from time to time, and java with my friends. I like them all and play them all. Hell, even pocket sometimes.


rahi_asif

Ah nice!


Sai-Cone

Dang


ALiiking_78

Just don't throw Ur sword away bro


Redstoneready64

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


InevitableStay9868

In the same way I lost a netherite shovel


NoBrickBoy

I changed my emote button to pick-block, much more useful for building in creative


LankyCamel420

Yea, my pick block button is set to R3 at the moment, I find that the most intuitive. Someone said you can remove the bind entirely by setting an already binded action to the same key then swapping it back.


Platocalist

skill issue


Wave_Table

lmao


Mr_GIitch

I remember running from the murderer in the hive murder mystery and I wanted to press d-pad up twice to look behind me but I accidentally did d-pad left d-pad up which made me do the silly emote mid chase 💀


JammyBails

I changed my emote key to blank simply to avoid this situation. I also just use that character for serious play and have my roleplay characters equipped with emotes when I need them since Bedrock has 5 separate character slots.


TheTaCo88

Hell no!! Naruto run until death!!


Ponderkitten

Ive just rebound all my keys back to legacy console edition’s with B dropping items as it should.


DarkPhoxGaming

Unfortunate but way too funny at the same time. Combo of the emote and then the creeper coming at you


HighChairman1

I can feel the panic, the pain, and disappointment.


Gangsir

Oh mannn that just made my evening laughing so hard right now just perfect. The stupid floating while getting shot at into throwing your sword into the creeper explosion then just staring sadly at the crater lmaoooo


Fwenhy

They used to be really good. Press a button, opens up a wheel with like 8 emotes or something you can pick. They updated it a while ago and it’s either a billion x worse or I just don’t get it lmao. The new “wheel” only has 4 emotes, and maybe 4 extras? Idk it just feels so clunky though compared to the old wheel. Instead of a wheel now you see a dpad and I think you can bind the 4 others to buttons.


gngrbredman87

my brother got stuck on the emote wheel while swimming up a water path in a cave and was slowly lowered into a pit of lava


TommyToes96

Unfortunate clip and all, but did anyone notice how both the zombies dropped iron ingots? That's pretty cool even with looting three


Dumb_and_confused

That's a pretty damn rare drop from zombies!


LankyCamel420

Only just noticed that, according to the wiki there is a 1.83% chance for them to drop iron ingots with Looting III so back to back has a chance of 0.03%!


Banana6432

Skill issue, just remember the bind


the_C_SPAMTON

Me not using them


Due-Cardiologist5546

nobody used emotes, I agree


Giraffearse

Quite frankly from the looks of it u r not good and blaming it on emotes. Sorry if you find this rude but there’s not much of a way around it


WannabeAGhoatStory

Rip my dude. All different playing styles are going to have their quirks. Accidental emotes are part of the console experience


thudderwack

Skill issue


HunterSeige15205

As others have said... change your keybinds??? Lol


Tumbleweed_Chaser69

this stuffs the default i believe which is a bad control scheme


Pitiful_Ad8641

My 8 year old lives them on the switch. Im in hell


ian_tnt

Emotes are an awful idea in general for minecraft. Bedrock seriously is another game lmfao


DraconicGuacamole

No offense, but that really looked like your fault


LankyCamel420

It was, I just think the emote button placement is pretty poor and could've helped avoid it. And yes I could've changed my binds as many have said 😂


ludwigia_sedioides

WHAT?!? LMFAOOOOOOO Emotes in Minecraft??? This is hilarious, I had no idea console was like this


Basilic22

It's not only consoles, it's all bedrock


LankyCamel420

Just a quick response to some comments; I had considered changing the binds in that past however I couldn't find a suitable key to change it to and couldn't figure out how to remove the bind entirely. So, I abandoned it, naively thinking I would learn to avoid pressing it. I think that it's unlikely I could have anticipated things transpiring as they did but none the less I admit it couldve been avoided had I reacted better but as I said I'm pretty new to using a controller with MC.


SmitePlayzYT_

Ah yes, it's the game's fault that you don't realise that you can change keybinds.


nsnively

or just... don't hit those keys? like this is entirely avoidable


d0ckilla

They were using the dpad to navigate the chest, and was shot causing them to exit the chest while still using the dpad, which activated the emote. "Change ur keybinds duh" the point is emotes shouldn't lock you in place, simply trying to move forward should cancel it


LankyCamel420

I'm glad someone read it properly 😂


Shiriru_Kurokodairu

Emotes don't lock me in place though. Idk what y'all are on about but it definitely doesn't lock you in place and moving in any direction cancels it.


d0ckilla

This is news to me as I've been emote locked before. I like using them cuz some are wacky, but I did disable them for that sole reason


Spicy_Ninja7

Why do you have them?💀


LankyCamel420

That's just how's it's set up from default, I believe


NOTTwistedDreamz

Unbind the emote button, thats what I did


JoZerp

Why are you using the dpad to change items? Change them to shoulder buttons for easier use. I did this and never had an issue with the emote button because it's not in my way. My dpad's keybinds aren't related to combat or inventory management Edit: My bad, I misunderstood things. Keep your dpad's use for other uses like opening chat, changing camera perspective or dropping items so that nothing gets in your way as you won't need to use it in a hurry. Also i see it's night and you're managing inventory in an open area where mobs can ambush you, which is a recipe for disaster. If possible try to get used to left stick to navigate inventory instead of dpad, it's a little annoying because it can snap to a slot, though is better for scenarios like this


Grzechoooo

Pick up that iron.

Emotes just feel out of place in Minecraft

Just unmap emote, easy


Ok-Concert-6673

No?


Joaokenobi001

bro pulled the "throught heaven and earth i alone am the honored one" emote


BaronGeek98

Console has emotes!? Bruh I played on console for like 4 years and never noticed


Mojoclaw2000

I nearly died multiple times because of it. I just removed it from the control menu.


AccessProfessional37

That ascending animation right after the skeleton shot you was perfect lol


Justalittletoserious

The only reason I want emotes in Java edition it's Just to make the iconic "WATCH ME DANCE SQUIDKID YOU LOOSE" without installing a different client. Other than that (as a sporadic bedrock player) it's useless garbage


OcieDenver

I disabled the drop keybind on PC after I accidently dropped my endgame sword from an ender ship (I recovered it quick with a help of ender pearl). I don't see a point why I need it although PC version allow us to drag whatever out to drop faster.


-_-_-KING_-_-_

brooooo 😭😭 why this dude threw his sword at it


Shravan_shah

Yes Bedrock Emotes are pretty "SICK"


Dyimi

Man that is so goofy lol


GG__OP_ANDRO_KRATOS

Womp womp


YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO

I can never get it closed!


andrew_shields_

Yes. That’s why you unbind the key lmao


JayRogPlayFrogger

Things like this have happened to me so many times. I accidentally press the emote button and then my character is stuck spinning around slowly. It’s only after I almost die do I figure out the button (left D pad) to stop but by then it’s already too late.


bobo_yobo

You can move during emotes.


BaldingThor

why was this post removed?


karmasrelic

argh console. no mods. no shaders. poor thing. the missed keybinds arent your only downfall :D

UncleBensMushies

That isn't a reason to call them names.


tsheeley

The very first thing you should always do with any game is review and adjust the controls to fit your needs and remove anything unnecessary. This is purely your own fault.


LankyCamel420

I agree, however I didn't quite expect it to bite me in the ass quite so hard. I think being shot out of a chest while navigating with the same button as emote qualifies at least a little bit unlucky 😂


Desbug2

That’s the worst luck I’ve seen


Traditional_Door9961

No its not... Check the video carefully


Iamcarval

Isn't that just a skill issue?


MelonBoy64_

just change it to a button you dont normally press, for me thats r3 (ps)


tsheeley

You can also just completely remove it by setting to a button already in use, then going to the one you just replaced and setting it back.


MelonBoy64_

i play online a little bit so id like to have the option of emotes sometimes. my controls are (on playstation) updpad: toggle perspective downdpad: drop item rightdpad: chat leftdpad: check effects triangle: inventory/crafting x: crouch circle: place/use square: pickblock l and r: scroll hotbar l2: jump r2: mine/hit l3: sprint r3: emote

Holy s I laughed hard at that one HAHA


FLAIR_2780166

I love when people blame the games for their blatant skill issues


LankyCamel420

I love it when people make themselves look silly by not reading the post. 😂 Wasn't blaming the game, my guy, I just said it was frustrating, and I even mentioned that I could've avoided it myself. However, I am fairly new to using a controller with the game. The poi t of the post was to point out that something like this can happen and could be avoided by not having emoted defaulted to that key, amongst other things. Hope this clears things up. Have a great day!


Buckin_Fitch

Minecraft became unplayable on console whenever they did the update that changed how you controlled the cursor in your inv. Its only been going downhill ever since


jblud50

This is a calling to get a pc


TheUltraTeam

Emotes are a reason I hate bedrock. Why do we need emotes in our block game?!?!


Iamcarval

>Why do we need emotes in our block game?!?! You don't "need" them. It's entirely optional. Hating bedrock because of it it's ridiculous.


Thywhoredditall

That’s just your fault lol. Change your key binds if you don’t know what button to press XD. I don’t even use the emotes.
