About this Mod
Mineshot Revived is a mod for Minecraft (using Forge) for creating high-resolution screenshots, optionally using the orthographic camera.
The majority of the code is based on the original Mineshot by Barracuda. So many thanks to the original creator.
The main purpose of this project is to keep Mineshot alive by updating to newer Minecraft/Forge versions. This means that only part of the original Mineshot functions is available.
Usage
The controls are the same as in the original Mineshot:
F9: Take a screenshot
Numpad 4: Rotate left
Numpad 6: Rotate right
Numpad 8: Rotate up
Numpad 2: Rotate down
Numpad 7: Top view
Numpad 1: Front view
Numpad 3: Side view
Numpad 5: Switch between perspective and orthographic projection
MOD-key (Left Control) + Numpad 5: Switch between fixed and free camera.
MOD-key (Left Control) + Numpad 4, 6, 8, or 2: Incremental instead of smooth rotation
Plus: Zoom in
Minus: Zoom out
The key bindings can be changed in the Minecraft Controls menu.
As there is no configuration GUI in Forge 1.15 yet, you have to change the size of the screenshot manually in:
Please note that the screenshots created will be huge (4K is already 23,7 MB), so choose your resolution carefully. The screenshot will be a Targa image file and will therefore be limited to 65535 by 65535 pixels.
Known limitations
- There are several features which aren't working (yet) in Mineshot Reforged:
- Tiled rendering: only off-screen framebuffer rendering for now
- No GUI for configuration
