Camera Snapper
by 9jayjay5
Camera Snapper lets a player press a key to jump the camera to one of two saved yaw and pitch directions, useful for cinematic shots and screenshots.
What it does
Two switchable presets each store a fixed yaw and pitch direction. Pressing the snap key turns the camera to whichever preset is active, and a short on-screen message confirms which one was selected, so the target is always known before the snap happens. Stored presets persist across play sessions without manual saving.
The camera values can be typed in exactly, or set by looking at the desired angle and clicking Use Current View to capture it. A built-in settings screen opens with N by default, and the config file can also be edited by hand. The mod is a Fabric mod for 26.2 and 26.3, released under the MIT License as open source; its latest file, 1.1.0 for 26.3, was published on 2026-10-11.
Camera Snapper is client-side only, so it adds no server requirement and does not change gameplay. Mod Menu is optional: when installed, Camera Snapper appears in its mod list with a config button, and the mod works without it as well.
Key features
Predefined camera snap
A single key press instantly turns the camera to the active preset, which helps repeat the same angle exactly.

Two separate yaw and pitch directions can be stored, and switching between them takes one key.
Exact value entry
Yaw and pitch can be typed as precise numbers, or captured from the current view with a single click.
Mod Menu integration
With Mod Menu installed, a config button appears in its list, though the mod works without it.
