Geotagged Screenshots
by CCr4ft3r
Geotagged Screenshots writes location data into screenshots taken in-game, so each picture records where and when it was made.
What it does
Each screenshot the player takes is enriched with metadata such as the in-game coordinates, the dimension identifier and the creation time. A screenshot receives a generated identifier that ties it to the world it was taken in. The added information is what lets Xaero's World Map place a screenshot at its spot on the map.
Screenshots are stored with a separate thumbnails directory that holds copies carrying the same metadata as the originals. Xaero's World Map uses those thumbnails to display screenshots on the map, and they can be regenerated since version 0.2.0. Location metadata is attached only to newly created screenshots; older ones are enriched only in a future update.
Two parts are required: Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map. Geotagged Screenshots is published for Forge alone, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The project is still in beta and has been tested carefully.
Key features
Coordinates and dimension
Every new screenshot stores the player's coordinates, the dimension identifier and the moment it was created.
Map placement
Screenshots with location data appear on Xaero's World Map, and removing a waypoint hides the screenshot from the map.
Thumbnail regeneration
Thumbnails in their own directory can be rebuilt, which is added in version 0.2.0.
Fullscreen viewing
Screenshots are loaded only in the fullscreen viewer, which opens when the player left-clicks one.
