ScenePreview

by kast1ent

ScenePreview is a Fabric client tool for taking clean screenshots by hiding interface elements, blocks and the sky from the view.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Screenshot-taking in Minecraft usually captures the HUD, hotbar, chat and other overlays along with the scene. ScenePreview lets a player turn these off before capturing, so the picture shows only the world. Its controls cover the on-screen interface, certain blocks in view and the sky, which makes it useful for previews of builds, landscapes and promotional images.

The mod is limited to the client, so only the player taking the screenshot needs it installed. It requires Fabric and targets 1.20.1 only, with a single file published for that version. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Hide the HUD

    Removes the heads-up display, including the hotbar and status indicators, from the captured view.

  2. Hide blocks

    Blocks can be hidden from the scene so that structures or terrain behind them show without obstruction.

  3. Hide the sky

    The sky can be removed from the view, leaving a plain background behind the scene.

  4. Clean preview output

    Combining these options produces screenshots of the world alone, suited to previews and documentation.

Questions

Does ScenePreview need Fabric API?

The mod requires Fabric. It is published for the Fabric loader only, and no Forge or NeoForge files are listed.

Does the server need ScenePreview installed?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which Minecraft versions does ScenePreview support?

Only 1.20.1 has a published file, so the mod cannot be installed on other game versions from this catalog entry.
