Make Panorama
Make Panorama adds a Forge screenshot command for Minecraft 1.12.2 that captures high fidelity panorama images from the game world.
What it does
Make Panorama lets a player take panorama screenshots in Minecraft 1.12.2. Each capture is rendered at 4096 x 4096 pixels and scaled down to 1024 x 1024 pixels, which gives a sharper result than a standard screenshot. The output is written to the panoramas folder inside the .minecraft directory, with file names already arranged for use in a resource pack.
The mod works by hooking into the game's rendering through mixins, so it relies on vanilla code rather than replacing it. Its author developed it after seeing another panorama mod that uses the game's built-in panorama code, and wanted to build an equivalent for 1.12.2. The HUD is hidden while a panorama is taken, and the author tested the mod alongside Celeritas.
Because the mod runs on the client alone, no server software is needed and players keep their normal gameplay settings. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are linked publicly.
Key features
Panorama capture
Takes a six-face panorama of the world around the player and saves it as a set of images.
High resolution output
Panoramas are rendered at 4096 x 4096 pixels and reduced to 1024 x 1024 pixels for a crisp image.
HUD hiding
The heads-up display is hidden during capture, so interface elements do not appear in the images.
Resource pack file names
Output files are named with a timestamp and arranged so they can be used directly in a resource pack.

How it compares
Panorama Screens is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.18.2 – 1.20.4 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Copy Screenshot is open source under the MIT License, targets Forge for 1.18.2, and is client-side only. Make Panorama is limited to 1.12.2 on Forge, so it differs from these mods in both loader and version range.

What the author says
A simple Minecraft mod that adds the ability to take high fidelity panorama screenshots to Minecraft 1.12.2 I was inspired by another mod called Panorama ScreenMake, which uses Minecraft's built in panorama code.
