So lets say a Discord bot is a member of server A and server B, and there is a custom emoji being hosted on server A. How do I get the bot to send the emoji on server B? I have seen bots such as MEE6 that can send custom emojis in DMs, so this surely must be possible.

I have tried both this:

message.channel.send('Test <:[emoji_name]:[id]>');

and this:

message.channel.send(`Test ${client.guilds.cache.get('[server_id]').emojis.cache.first()}`);

I used .first() since there is only one emoji in the server.

Both of these do not work. The emoji will appear in the server it is hosted in, but if I try to send it in any other server, it just shows the emoji name and/or ID. I cannot find any articles or questions that provide any other way of doing this. So in short, how do I get the bot to send an emoji to another server that the emoji isn't being hosted on?

• javascript
• node.js
• discord.js

• 1 Have you tried using client.emojis.get("<Emoji ID>")? If I remember correctly, that's the way to achieve your goal. – wgumenyuk Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 9:00

in discord.js v12 it is

const someEmoji = client.emojis.cache.get("<Emoji ID>");

For everyone facing the same issue, you can use client.emojis.get("<Emoji ID>").

Here's a quick example:

const someEmoji = client.emojis.get("<Emoji ID>");

message.channel.send(someEmoji);
