Nicephore
by lotuxpunk
Nicephore replaces the gallery and capture side of Minecraft's screenshot system, with an in-game viewer, optimization and clipboard copying.
What it does
The mod extends the built-in screenshot feature rather than replacing it. Screenshots are browsed in an infinite-scroll gallery with a sidebar, sorted newest first and loaded on the fly, so large collections stay responsive. A detail view shows any picture at full size with one click, and screenshots can be renamed from there.
Captures can be saved as JPEG, optionally optimized to smaller files at some quality loss, or kept lossless. Copying a screenshot straight to the clipboard works on Windows and macOS. Nicephore is client-side only, so servers run without it, and its settings are reachable in-game from the gallery sidebar. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and builds cover 26.1 – 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge under the MIT License, as open source code.
Key features
Infinite-scroll gallery
Screenshots load as the player scrolls, with a grid that can be set from 2 to 6 columns.
Filters and date info
Images can be filtered by PNG, JPEG or both, and hovering shows the date and file size.
Optimization and JPEG export
Captures can be optimized to smaller files or saved as JPEG, with lossless output as an option.
Clipboard copy
A screenshot can be copied directly to the clipboard from the gallery on Windows and macOS.
