ScreenshotSettings
by fmbellomy
ScreenshotSettings is a Fabric and Quilt client mod that controls where in-game screenshots are saved and how their filenames are built.
What it does
Screenshots can be written to custom directories, and the naming scheme can be changed from Minecraft's default format. Tags for the world or server name, the Minecraft version, the active shader pack and the player's coordinates can be combined in the filename, so the scheme can be shaped to suit a player's sorting habits. Folders can also be organized automatically by world or server, by shader pack and by time, which keeps screenshots from many singleplayer worlds and servers apart. A screenshot can optionally embed metadata such as the player's position, rotation and active shader pack, which makes sorting and searching through images easier.
The mod is for players who take many screenshots across several worlds or servers and want them grouped without manual work. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and Iris Shaders is optional and is needed to record the active shader pack. The author notes that embedded metadata is not shown by Windows Explorer, so a dedicated viewer or the exiftool command line tool is needed to read it. The metadata viewer is a separate GUI installer that bundles exiftool, which avoids the manual setup of the base tool.
