There are two items and recipes added to the game - the camera itself, and photo paper. You can craft a Camera with 3 Black Carpet, 2 Iron Ingots, 2 Redstone, 1 Spyglass, and 1 Lightning Rod: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/3aea455c1586c4574ff255d9d4e4de3dbf879711.png) You can craft 4 pieces of Photo Paper with 3 Resin, 3 Paper, 1 Cyan Dye, 1 Yellow Dye, and 1 Magenta Dye: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/67390af0ff14a083de57c97b67939ccf3a359a22.png) To use the camera, click and hold the use-item button. This will pull up a viewfinder that will provide a frame of what will be included in the photo. Releasing the use-item button will place the camera in the world. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/66d0b3f55e930c8e495ee793af78f2b3857cac99_0.webp) To take a photo, click the use-item button on the camera while holding a piece of photo paper.

Any photo that is stored in the camera **will be lost** if it is not retrieved first!
