snapcam

The mod adds a placeable camera that works on Fabric for 1.21.1. A player holds the Camera item, presses Use on a block face, and the camera is set into the world. Walking up to a placed camera and stepping inside switches the view into its live perspective, and pressing Use on an unoccupied camera hands the point of view over to it. Each camera serves a single occupant, so a second player must wait for it to be free. A flat surface takes a tripod camera pointed toward the lens, a side face mounts it on a wall, and an underside block mounts it on a ceiling. The player's own character stays in its original position, visible to other players.

The camera is a server-side entity, so the server and every player need the mod. Screenshots are saved through Minecraft's normal screenshot system in the screenshots folder with sequential numbering, and a white flash confirms each shot. The self-timer starts when a player crouch-clicks a placed camera from close range, and a large countdown appears. When the countdown ends, the mod briefly enters the camera's point of view, takes the screenshot and returns the player to normal play. Hitting a camera entity breaks it.
