Basic Screenshot Fix

by MidasVertex

Basic Screenshot Fix changes where Minecraft's screenshot key saves its images, writing them to a Pictures folder in JPG format.

What it does

Screenshots taken in the game are written to the user's Pictures folder instead of the default game directory, and they are saved as JPG files. The mod changes only how Minecraft's original screenshot system stores its output, so the key binding and the in-game capture work as before.

The mod runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. It is built for Fabric and Quilt and requires Fabric API to load. The project is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, and the author's permission is needed for modification, redistribution or commercial use. Public links exist for the issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Pictures folder output

    Screenshots are saved to the Pictures directory of the user's home folder rather than the game's own screenshots folder.

  2. JPG format

    Captured images are written as JPG files, which take less disk space than the default PNG output.

  3. Original screenshot system

    The mod hooks into Minecraft's built-in screenshot code, so the regular screenshot key keeps working without a separate capture tool.
