Updated to v3, now chat is only overriden if a potential emote is detected and no links are detected in the chat message. This will let you post normal links, and shouldn't break chat mods too much if you don't use emotes.
Support for some default blockland ci and ui has been added. There's even some new custom ci-styled graphics built into the server mod for the 4 keys, a wrench, and a printer.
There's also 3 new packs in the OP. Kappa shouldn't be corrupted anymore.
And probably the best new thing, there are now emote lists. Type /listEmotes into chat and it'll walk you through.
