Memories Are All We Have
by enjarai
Memories Are All We Have is a Fabric client mod that gathers the game's screenshots into one folder, so players with several instances can find old shots in one place.
What it does
Screenshots normally land in a folder per launcher instance, which makes past builds and old worlds hard to reach. This mod moves the storage to a single global location, by default a Minecraft Screenshots folder inside the user's Pictures directory. A config file holds the few settings, and the author designed it to need configuration only once and then be left alone.
The mod runs on the client only, so servers and other players do not need it. It requires Fabric API. Files exist for 18 release versions, 1.17 – 1.21, and the latest file, 1.1.0+1.20.4 for 1.21, dates from 2024-01-09. The code is open source under the MIT License.
The one optional extra takes a screenshot automatically when a player earns an advancement, and it can be switched on in the config. Because the mod keeps few moving parts, the same design is available across the Fabric builds since 1.17.
Key features
Global screenshot folder
All screenshots are saved to one shared folder instead of each instance's own directory.
Config file
A small config file controls the storage location and the optional extras, so the mod works with little setup.
Advancement screenshots
An optional setting captures a screenshot automatically whenever the player earns an advancement.
Minimal scope
The mod changes only where screenshots are stored and adds no new screens, items or commands.

Use cases
Revisiting old worlds
Players who keep many instances and old worlds can browse all their screenshots in one folder.
Who it’s for: Players who keep several Minecraft instances through different launchers and want their screenshots gathered in one place. Its scope is narrow, so it suits players who want a single storage change rather than a full gallery.

What the author says
I always enjoy looking back at old Minecraft screenshots. Old worlds, old builds, and old friends. Modding my game can often get in the way of this periodic dose of nostalgia, with my memories being spread out over many instances and launchers, still there, but hard to reconcile. This mod attempts to alleviate this…
