Picture In Picture
by DJ1TJOO
Picture In Picture opens a floating, draggable window that shows a live view of the game, which can be zoomed, resized and kept above other programs.
What it does
Each window can be dragged around the screen with the mouse, resized to a smaller size, and optionally kept at the Minecraft window aspect ratio. A floated window stays above other programs, so it can be watched while working in another application. Zoomed views help follow a specific part of the world, such as a storage area or a farm, while the rest of the game stays in view.
The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on a server and players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 1.19.3 and 1.19.4, with the latest file 0.5.1 for 1.19.4 released on 2023-08-20. The code is covered by the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source, although public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a persistent view of one part of the world while doing other things on the screen, including players who run other programs next to the game. The mod is for single-player and multiplayer clients alone, and it needs Fabric API.
How it compares
Picture Perfect is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11 – 26.3 under a custom license that is not open source, so it targets much newer releases than this mod. Screenshot Path is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.6 – 26.2 under the MIT License and is open source. Cubium is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, so it covers different game versions and a different license.
