📋 About This Mod

_Requires (https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/) and (https://www.modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)_

Photography Redeveloped adds a camera item to take in-world photos on maps. -

It is a fork of (https://modrinth.com/mod/photography) targeting modern versions.

> This is my first time working on a large mod, so expect a few bugs, even though I do playtest the mod before uploading new versions to avoid issues. Thank you for your understanding!

# How to use

You need a Camera and Photographic Paper to take photographs:

  • A Camera is made with a Spyglass and 8 copper ingots
  • - Photographic Paper is made with paper and cyan, magenta, and yellow dye

Right click with a Camera open the viewfinder. Right click again to take a photo, scroll to zoom in or out, and press the escape key to exit the camera interface. Taking a photo consumes Photographic Paper and gives you a Photograph.

Why another camera mod? -

This mod has been continued to fulfil my very specific needs. I wanted a camera mod that was optional for clients, and for which photograph items are compatible with future versions of Minecraft, even without the mod installed. For clarification, the mod is required on the client and server in order to take photos. However, it doesn't prevent vanilla clients from joining (including Bedrock players through Geyser), and all players can see the photographs and the photographs will remain after the mod is uninstalled (as they are just vanilla maps with custom image data).

Update when? - I am continuing development of this mod because it fit my needs, except for only being available on 1. 21. 1. With that in mind, updates to newer Minecraft versions will generally come if/when the server I play on updates.

Other recommended camera mods

  • (https://modrinth.com/mod/exposure) is fantastic, and has a much better process and more features than this mod. However, it is required on both client and server, its photos will disappear when uninstalled, and it is only available for 1. 21. 1.
  • (https://modrinth.com/mod/camera-obscura) is a purely server-side camera mod that uses retracing to take photos on vanilla maps. While it is extremely impressive technically, I wanted to take photos using my client for rendering so shaders and visual mods can be used.
  • (https://modrinth.com/mod/polaroidcamera) was Bloufin's inspiration for this mod. Similar to this mod, it adds a simple camera that takes photos on vanilla maps. Unlike this mod, it adds a non-vanilla camera item, preventing vanilla clients from joining.

_Photography uses some code from (https://modrinth.com/mod/image2map) to render photos on to maps, and the Mixin from (https://modrinth.com/mod/nowheel) to allow scrolling to zoom while using a camera. Many thanks to those authors!_
