Screenshot Waypoints
by Gelzy
Screenshot Waypoints records where each screenshot was taken, writing the location into the image file itself as the player captures it.
What it does
When a player takes a screenshot, the mod automatically geotags the image with coordinates, biome, dimension, yaw and pitch of the camera, and the world or server name. The data is stored inside the PNG text chunk as iTXt or tEXt metadata, and PNG is the recommended format for that reason. An in-game Screenshot Gallery lets players browse their images and copy the stored location data quickly.
Storage can be set to two modes, one that embeds the metadata in the PNG and one that writes a separate .json file next to it. Mod Menu, when it is installed, can open the settings screen from the Mods list, and that screen decides which location details get saved and where they go. Fabric is the only loader listed, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
