ScreenshotToClipboard
by Nek0cha
ScreenshotToClipboard copies each screenshot to the system clipboard as soon as it is taken, so a captured image can be pasted straight into another program.
What it does
When a player takes a screenshot with F2, the saved image is also placed on the operating system clipboard without any extra step. The copy happens automatically on Windows, macOS and Linux. Copying depends on the environment: on Linux some external tools are needed for clipboard integration, and if neither is installed the copy fails while the screenshot itself is still saved.
The mod runs only on the player's client, so servers do not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. It is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11. Optional support for Mod Menu and Cloth Config opens a settings screen, where the notification message can be toggled on or off by default. The interface is available in Japanese and English. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases
Sharing a capture quickly
A player can paste a fresh screenshot into a chat window, document or image editor without opening the screenshots folder.
Who it’s for: Players who often share screenshots from Minecraft and want the image on the clipboard without a manual step. Players on Linux should check that a clipboard tool is installed before relying on the copy.
