Selfie Camera
by ImBanana
Selfie Camera lets a player take pictures of their own character, with friends in view, using a camera mode attached to the player.
What it does
A selfie key switches the view into a camera mode attached to the player, and pressing it again toggles back. Hands can be switched between main and off-hand, so the picture can show either. Color filters change the look and mood of the camera, and taken pictures are saved to the pictures directory inside the Minecraft folder in APPDATA.
Selfie Camera requires Fabric API on Fabric. The environment is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and the mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.21.9 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
