PictureCam
by DeLaRosaPlay
PictureCam lets players take photos in-game, upload images from a URL or a PC file, store them in an album and display them on Image Frame blocks.
What it does
A Camera item takes photos in the world. Images can also be imported from a URL or from a file on the player's computer, then kept in an Album item. Placing an Image Frame block displays a chosen picture on a wall, which suits decorative builds, roleplay maps, galleries and similar projects.
The mod depends on neither Fabric API nor any other library, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files cover two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest builds are 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1-1.0.1 for 1.21.1 on NeoForge. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
In-game camera
A camera craft takes a photo of the surroundings, and the result can be saved for later display.
Image import
Pictures can be loaded from a URL or a file on the PC, so builders are not limited to photos taken in the game.
Album storage
An album item keeps saved images together, and a copy of an existing image can be made with paper using a special recipe.
Image Frame display
Image Frame blocks show a stored picture as a decorative element on walls and in galleries.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Roleplay and map builds
Framed pictures add props and story details to adventure maps and roleplay settings.
Galleries
Walls of Image Frames can show a collection of stored pictures in one room.
Who it’s for: Builders who want photographs or custom artwork in their worlds, and server owners who run roleplay or gallery maps. Both sides need the mod to keep images consistent.
How it compares
Danix's Decoration is Forge and NeoForge only for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, and runs on client and server. Wood Decorations is published for 1.20.1 only, is open source under the MIT License and also runs on client and server. Decorative Entities is client and server too, covers 1.18 – 26.2 for Forge and NeoForge, and is not open source. PictureCam differs in focusing on photos and framed images rather than furniture or wood pieces.
