Memory
by cintreck
Memory, a Fabric client mod, captures a screenshot automatically from the last five minutes of play without any key press.
What it does
Memory keeps a rolling record of the current play session and saves a screenshot of the past five minutes. Players can also press F2 for the usual vanilla screenshot, and the mod mirrors those captures so both sets of images land in the same place. Pictures are stored with the resolution in the file name, and chat messages are kept alongside them in the screenshots folder.
The timer pauses while a menu or the pause screen is open, so only in-world moments are recorded. Memory runs entirely on the client, so a server does not need it and players can add it to a single-player world or a multiplayer client. It requires Fabric API, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional: with them installed, the settings can be changed in game.
Key features
Silent capture
Screenshots of the last five minutes are saved in the background, so the player does not need to stop and take them.
Vanilla screenshot mirroring
Screenshots taken with the standard F2 key are copied into the mod's own record of the session.
Named output files
Each image file includes its resolution, and chat messages from the session are stored under the screenshots folder.
Pause-aware timer
The five-minute window stops counting while menus or the game pause screen are open, keeping captures to in-world moments.
In-game settings
With Mod Menu and Cloth Config API installed, a settings screen lets the player tweak how the mod behaves.

What the author says
Memory automatically captures a screenshot every five minutes (configurable) using the exact flow that pressing F2 triggers. Drop it into your client alongside Fabric API and the game will quietly catalog your play session.
