Better MC Screenshots

Make your screenshot experience actually better.

This mod upgrades the default Minecraft screenshot system into something modern, fast, and genuinely enjoyable to use — no more tabbing out, digging through folders, or guessing if the shot even saved correctly.

Everything you need is right there, in-game.

🚀 Why use this mod?

Taking screenshots in vanilla Minecraft is... fine. But checking them? Managing them? Sharing them quickly?

That’s where things get annoying.

This mod fixes all of that by bringing a smooth, integrated screenshot workflow directly into the game — so you can focus on playing, not file hunting.

✨ What you get

📷 Instant Preview

No more guessing. The moment you take a screenshot, you’ll see it instantly in-game.

💬 Smarter Chat Notifications

Screenshot messages are no longer just text — they’re interactive. Open previews, jump to the folder, and more with a single click.

🖼️ Built-in Gallery

Browse all your screenshots without leaving Minecraft. Fast, simple, and always accessible.

📋 Copy & Share Instantly

Copy screenshots straight from the game and paste them anywhere — no need to open folders.

🔊 Custom Screenshot Sound

Don’t like the default sound? Change it to whatever* fits your vibe.

⚡ Quick Access Everywhere

New buttons and shortcuts make managing screenshots effortless.

4. Launch the game and you're ready to go

🛠️ Development

The project uses layered shared sources:

common/src/main/                    Loader-independent Java and shared assets
common/src/minecraft/               Code shared by every version and loader
common/src/versions/<range>/        Code shared by loaders for a version range
common/src/loaders/<loader>/<range> Code shared by versions of one loader
common/src/loaders/forge-family/    Code shared by Forge and NeoForge
fabric/<version>/                   Fabric client-only exceptions
neoforge/<version>/                 NeoForge-only exceptions
forge/<version>/                    Forge-only exceptions and standalone build

The root Gradle build selects the correct layers for Fabric and NeoForge. Forge uses its own wrapper in forge/ because ForgeGradle requires a different Gradle setup.

To build the project using Gradle, run the following commands in the project root, depending on your Minecraft version:

./gradlew buildAll                          # All versions

./gradlew fabric:1.21:build                 # version Fabric 1.21 - 1.21.1
