Description in text form

Camera

  • Operating the Camera is simple: load a Film Roll, open the Viewfinder,
    compose your shot and release the shutter.
  • Press/Hold Sneak when looking through Viewfinder to control Camera
    settings: Focal Length, Shutter Speed, Flash mode, Composition Guides.
  • Use the Camera while sneaking to open the Attachments window,
    where you'd be able to:
    • Load a Film
    • Equip the Flash (Redstone Lamp)
    • Modify the Lens (Spyglass)
    • Put a Filter on the lens (Glass Panes)

Film

  • To capture an image you'll need to expose light-sensitive film.
  • You can use simpler black and white film or, more sophisticated
    and harder to make and process, color film.
  • Single film roll can fit 16 frames on it.
  • Developing is required to prepare film for printing.

Lightroom

  • Photographs are printed with the help of a Lightroom block.
  • Negatives can be previewed before printing to help you choose the
    best exposure.
  • Black and white print requires Paper and Black Dye.
    Color print will require Cyan, Magenta and Yellow dyes on top of that.

Photograph

And finally, you have your Photograph - a captured moment in time!
Now it's time to admire the result, hang it on the wall, share with
friends, sell it to the National Geographic. The possibilities are endless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exposure server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Exposure compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Exposure officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.19.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Exposure – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Exposure consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
