Screenshot to Clipboard
by Yannis_
Screenshot to Clipboard copies each Minecraft screenshot to the system clipboard as soon as it is taken, while the game still saves the file normally.
What it does
When a player takes a screenshot in Minecraft, the mod places the image on the clipboard, so it can be pasted straight into a chat window, a forum post or an image editor without opening the screenshots folder first. Minecraft still writes the file to disk as usual, so the saved copy remains available. The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing.
Installation requires Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), all of which must be present alongside the mod on Fabric. It is published for 26.1.2 and the 1.21.9 – 26.1.2 range, with six release versions in total. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source, and the issue tracker is the public place to report bugs.
Key features
Automatic clipboard copy
Each screenshot taken with the normal key is copied to the clipboard without any extra step or command.
Paste into chat or posts
Copied images can be dropped straight into a chat, a forum post or a bug report, which speeds up sharing builds and funny moments.
Drag and drop
Screenshots can also be dragged from the game into another window, for players who prefer that route to the clipboard.
Quick access to the folder
Players can still locate the saved file in the screenshots folder, so the image is never lost when the clipboard is overwritten.

No searching in the screenshots folder. No drag & drop. No “wait, where was the image saved?” This mod automatically copies every Minecraft screenshot to your clipboard, while Minecraft still saves it normally as a file.
