Snippetist

Adds shortcodes, :like_this:, that you can use in chat to quickly enter anything.

Configuration

Snippetist gets its snippet definitions from resource packs; any JSON files in assets/[namespace]/snippetist_snippets/[file name].json will be loaded as snippets, using this trivial format:

{
  "short_code": "What :short_code: gets expanded to",
  "another_short_code": "Take a guess"
}

Snippetist includes Discord’s emoji shortcodes as a built-in resource pack. As Snippetist doesn’t add any advanced font rendering functionality, an external way to render emojis is needed for proper display of said shortcode emojis.
