SmartShot
SmartShot is a client-side Fabric utility that sorts screenshots into separate folders per world and hides the interface while a shot is taken.
What it does
When a player takes a screenshot, the mod can place it in a separate folder for the single-player world or server being played, created inside the screenshots folder. This keeps shots from different worlds apart without any manual sorting. A pressed key can also show a clickable message in chat straight away, linking to the saved image.
The mod is aimed at players who collect many screenshots across several worlds and servers. Because it only changes what happens on the client, nothing needs to be installed on a server. The code is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2026-04-14.
Key features
Per-world screenshot folders
Each single-player world and each server gets its own subfolder, placed inside the screenshots folder, so captures from different places stay apart.
Clickable chat message
A key press posts a clickable message in chat right after the screenshot is taken, for opening the file quickly.
Interface hidden while capturing
The HUD is hidden for a fraction of a second while the screenshot is taken, then restored automatically.
Clipboard copy
The saved image can also be copied to the clipboard, so it can be pasted straight into another program.

Who it’s for: Players who keep screenshots from many single-player worlds and multiplayer servers, and who want them organized automatically on their own computer.
