During a sequence of strange events emotes are playing or appearing in chat randomly.

A very unsettling random set of events occurs any time my game slows down or when I play with another player. The game will slow when some mobs get around, and when I play on single player the chat says that I am waving or pointing etc. When I play with my friend, that player will freeze under the same circumstances, and will be unable to do anything. The chat, as shown in the photo below, will fill up with constant claims that the other player is pointing or waving or clapping, then they will die either from the mobs around them or just do so in creative mode, and it will continue to say that they are emoting, both players skin will disappear back to default steve, the chat will give three last emotes and then a final lag and then back to normal. This pattern hasn’t changed and is constant. Always the same three emotes but usually in a different sequence. There has also been other instances in similar context of random chat messages but I am trying to follow the guidelines by only submitting 1 issue.

I’d gladly answer any questions if it helps. I do not mind doing so at all. This is an unsettling event and I’d like to do what ever I can to help prevent it from happening to other players or any further all together.
