WebP Screenshots
by xpncvr
WebP Screenshots saves the screenshots Minecraft takes as WebP files instead of PNG, which can reduce the space they use on disk.
What it does
Screenshots taken in the game are stored in the WebP format rather than PNG. The author notes that this lowers file size, at the cost of some image quality, so players who keep many captures can save storage. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with files for 1.21.10 – 26.3.
Key features
WebP output
Screenshots are written as WebP files instead of the PNG format the game uses by default.
Smaller files
The format reduces the size of each screenshot, which helps when many captures pile up.
Quality trade-off
Compression can lower image quality slightly, so the saving depends on how much detail the player needs.
