About this Mod
ScreenshotMod Lite
Take perfect screenshots, edit them right in the game, and instantly share them with friends on Telegram and Discord!
Tired of taking full-screen screenshots, minimizing the game, opening an image editor, cropping the necessary part, and manually dragging it into a messenger? ScreenshotMod Lite fully automates this process. It's not just a screenshot mod — it's your personal in-game media center.
Main Features
Smart Area Capture: Forget about capturing the entire screen. Select only what you need (a beautiful build, a funny bug, or a piece of chat) using a convenient selection box right over the game.
Built-in Editor: Leave notes, draw lines, circles, and highlight important details on your screenshot without leaving Minecraft.
Instant Export to Messengers: Send screenshots to Discord (via Webhook) or directly to Telegram DMs / groups. The mod will find your contacts, fetch Telegram avatars, and deliver the image in a second.
Pin System (Pin Gallery): Found a complex crafting recipe or a redstone schematic? Take a screenshot and "pin" it to your screen. The image will stay on your HUD while you build!
Custom Gallery: A convenient in-game interface to view all your saved captures.
Controls (Default)
Ctrl + F2— Activate area selection for a screenshot.F2— Standard screenshot (saved to the mod's gallery).U— Open the Telegram contacts menu for quick sharing.(Keys can be rebound in the standard Minecraft controls settings).

Discord Integration Setup
Sending screenshots to Discord works directly through the Webhook system (no need to create any bots).

Click the gear icon (Edit Channel) and navigate to the Integrations tab.

In Minecraft, open the mod settings and paste this link into the Discord Webhook field.
All set! Now, when you click the Discord button in-game, your screenshot will instantly fly into the selected channel.
