Camoperata
by ashleykarmic
Camoperata is a NeoForge camera mod for 1.21.1 that lets players take detailed in-game photos and upload them to the server.
What it does
Players can capture photos from inside the game, with an option to hide the HUD and hands before the shot, and use their own shaders and texture packs in the picture. The camera work is clientsided, so models from tools such as Figura can appear in the photo. Live recording and custom image uploads are part of the same camera flow.
Uploads go to the server, where a manual upload command sends an image file by name and removes the local copy afterward. Photos are stored on the server side and sent back to the client, and a local cache keeps rendered images in the game run folder under screenshots and camera, so they can be watched, deleted or tried again in single-player.
Server owners control the feature through game rules that limit width, height and file size, and oversized photos are downscaled automatically within a configurable multiplier. Camoperata runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its files target NeoForge for 1.21.1 only.

A command uploads a chosen image file to the server by name, and the local copy is removed after upload.
