Screenie
by jadyen.dev
Screenie lets players capture screenshots at custom resolutions, well above the window size, from a Fabric client.
What it does
Screenie is a client-side utility for players who want high resolution screenshots. A chosen capture size can be set independently of the game window, and the window size is tracked as it changes so captures stay in step with it. The mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with its source code published.
Settings are changed on a GUI configuration screen opened with the J key by default. Players set the options there, press Apply Changes to save them, and then use the normal screenshot key to capture at the configured resolution. Output can be written as PNG, JPG, TGA or BMP, a capture delay can be set, and the HUD can be hidden from the image.
Screenie runs on Fabric only. Files are published for 1.21 – 1.21.8, nine release versions in all, with 0.1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest build. It has no required dependencies beyond Fabric itself, and because it is client-side only, servers do not need it.
Key features
Custom capture resolutions
Screenshots can be taken at a resolution chosen in the settings, not only at the size of the game window.
Dynamic window size tracking
The mod follows changes to the window size so that captures keep the configured dimensions after the window is resized.
Output formats
Captures can be saved as PNG, JPG, TGA or BMP files, depending on which format the player picks.
Filename templates
A filename template supports time and world variables, so each screenshot can carry a name tied to its moment and place.
HUD hiding and capture delay
The HUD can be left out of the image, and a capture delay can be set before the screenshot is taken.

Use cases
