SnapHelper
by Ruby-mc-cmd
SnapHelper changes the chat message that appears after a screenshot is taken, replacing a plain confirmation with buttons for acting on that image.
What it does
After a screenshot is taken, the chat line from SnapHelper carries several clickable buttons. One opens the image file directly, another opens the captures directory in the operating system's file browser, and one copies the file path to the clipboard. Players can handle a new capture without leaving the game or searching through folders by hand.
SnapHelper is a client-side Fabric mod for version 1.21.11 only, with no separate server install. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code is public. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.2, published on 2026-01-28, and the first release dates from 2026-01-02.
The mod is one of 2,789 Management mods with Fabric files for 1.21.11, and it is also listed under Utility. Because it only changes what the client displays, it does not alter the world, recipes or other players' games.
