hyper's frame master
by hyperfromuni
Hyper's Frame Master is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that draws composition guides over the screen to help frame screenshots.
What it does
Players who take screenshots can turn on a set of overlays drawn across the view. Each overlay shows a compositional guide, such as rule of thirds lines, a phi grid or a golden spiral, so the subject can be placed against the guide before the picture is taken. The mod draws its overlays only on the client, and the game is unchanged for anyone who does not use them.
The overlays cover a range of guidelines, and the mod draws several of them at the same time, so a scene can be checked against more than one composition rule. Because it is a client-side tool, only the player who uses it needs the mod; servers and other players do not have to install it. Files are published for Forge only, for game version 1.8.9, with 1.0 as the latest file released on 2023-09-05.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so the code may not be reused without permission from its author, hyperfromuni.
Key features

Golden spiral overlay
