FotoGenic
by Sentreee
FotoGenic brings a camera system to NeoForge 26.1.2, with lenses, film, shutter and ISO controls that shape the saved image.
What it does
The mod adds photography to the game through physical camera items. Shutter speed, ISO, aperture and focus are set on the camera, and white balance shifts the color of each photo per channel. A higher ISO adds visible grain to the saved photo, and a slower shutter can blend several frames into a long-exposure image with motion blur and light trails.
Two camera types are included. The Digital Camera is a modular body that cannot take a picture until a lens is attached and a memory card is inserted, and it has an LCD screen for browsing and deleting saved photos. The Polaroid Camera is film-based: a roll is loaded, each frame consumes one shot, and the film ejects as a physical Polaroid photo item. Mounting a camera on the tripod block allows looking through its viewfinder, and panning decouples the player from the lens so the view tracks the mouse while the character stays still.
Installation needs only NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Five interchangeable lenses
Zoom, Super Zoom, Prime, Macro and Fisheye lenses attach directly to the Digital Camera, each with its own focal range and aperture.
Full settings panel
The Digital Camera shows its complete settings inside the viewfinder, so exposure can be adjusted while framing a shot.
Upgradable memory cards
Memory cards are available in a base grade and a higher grade with more capacity, and cards can be dyed in the 16 vanilla colors.
Photos stored as image files
Saved photos are kept as actual image files with their data in NBT, and the LCD screen can reorder or delete them.
