Sorry, the emotes cannot be read if the folder is a symbolic link. I had the emotes folder for different instances in PrismLauncher pointing to the same emotes folder to avoid redundancy, but now it doesn't work. Do you know if this can be fixed, or are there no plans to address it?

My problem isn't serious, and if it can't be resolved, I'll just copy the emotes folder, and that's it.

Emotectaft is in beta so I'm experimenting... Thanks for telling me!

I'll try to resolve it

Same thing is happening with me. However, for me it doesn't even says it's invalid
Instead it just not detect anything like the folder is empty

I'm with Essentials installed, so maybe there is some type of conflict. But I tried to search about it and didn't found anything
