About this Mod

Use unused code in the vanilla client to make panorama screenshots just as MOJANG does!

The mod is characterized by the fact that it makes unused panorama screenshot code already included in the vanilla game usable. This makes the mod very lightweight and presumably easy and quick to update to the next Minecraft versions.

How to take panorama screenshots

It's as simple as just pressing F4. (The key is configurable.) The rest is completely automated. No need to adjust the window size or FOV. The screenshots are then simply saved in the regular screenshot folder or, starting with mod version 1.1.0, in timestamped subfolders.

Limited functionality with shaders

Recordings with shaders enabled only work from Minecraft version 1.21.8 onwards. In older versions the recording will be blank. I can't change that because this mod doesn't change Mojang's Panorama code, it just uses it.

Using the recordings

This is just a very simple mod for creating recordings using Minecraft's own function. If you want to use the recording as your main menu background, for example, you will need to create your own texture pack. There are plenty of tutorials online for this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Panorama Screenshot need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Panorama Screenshot as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Panorama Screenshot require?

Use a file for fabric, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 1.21.11, 1.21.10. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Panorama Screenshot is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
