About this Mod
Screenshot Waypoints 📸

Automatically geotag your Minecraft screenshots with:
- Coordinates (X/Y/Z)
- Biome

- World / server name
- Timestamp
The mod also includes an in-game Screenshot Gallery to browse screenshots and quickly access/copy location data.
Features ✨
- Automatic geotagging when taking a screenshot.
- Two storage modes:
- PNG (recommended): stores metadata inside the screenshot as a PNG text chunk (iTXt/tEXt).
- JSON: stores metadata as a sidecar file next to the screenshot (
.png+.json).
- Screenshot Gallery:
- Preview selected screenshots
- Show geotag info (biome, dimension, coords, yaw/pitch, timestamp, server/world)
- Copy coordinates to clipboard
- Open screenshots folder
- Rename screenshots (renames the sidecar too in JSON mode)
- Filtering by date range, world/server, biome
- Mod Menu config screen (if Mod Menu is installed).
- Fully localized UI (English + Russian).
How to use 🎮

F2). - Open the gallery: use the mod’s keybind (configurable in Controls).

Notes / Privacy 🔐

- If you share screenshots publicly, be aware that coordinates may be included.
- You can disable individual fields (coords/biome/etc.) in the config.
FAQ ❓
Why does the gallery show “No geotag data” for old screenshots?
Only screenshots taken after installing/enabling the mod will have metadata. For older screenshots, you can retake them or keep them untagged.
Which storage mode should I use?
- Use PNG if you want a single self-contained image file.
- Use JSON if you prefer external metadata files or want easy manual editing.
