Panoramic Screenshot

A client mod, allows you to take high resolution normal/panoramic/skybox screenshots.

Use /screenshot to take a specified type of screenshot. Also supports set a shortcut key to take panoramic or skybox screenshots.

Feature Details

/screenshot normal <width> <height>

Take a normal screenshot with the specified resolution. Max to 16384 * 16384.

/screenshot panoramic <mode>

Shoter form of the command below, will use default parameters. This is what the shortcut key actually calls. Default parameters are:

• height: your current screen height
• fov: your current FOV
• yaw_start: 0
• frame_delay: 0

/screenshot panoramic <mode> <height> <fov> <yaw_start> <frame_delay>

Take a panoramic screenshot that around yourself, like the title image.

Implementation method is to rotate the perspective 360° and take screenshots repeatedly, and stitch them.

To prevent scene changes during filming, the mod will try to pause game client. Bus run /tick freeze before this is still recommended.

Parameters:

• mode: one of FAST and PRECISE, FAST will take 360 screenshots while PRECISE take one screenshot each column of pixels. FAST mode have some flaws when fov larger than 60°. So PRECISE mode is recommended.
• height: height of the final screenshot, in pixels, the width will be calculated by height/fov * 360.
• fov: field of view when taking screenshots, in degrees.
• yaw_start: the starting yaw when taking screenshots, in degrees. 0 means facing south, 90 means facing west.
• frame_delay: delay between each screenshot, in frames.

/screenshot skybox <name> <size>

Take a skybox screenshot, which is a 6-face cubemap. Like Minecraft title screen background.

In fact you can custom title screen with those skybox screenshots.

Parameters:

• name: the file name of screenshots, form <name>_0.png to <name>_5.png.
• size: the width and height, in pixels.

/screenshot gif <start|end|fix_time> <frame_rate>

Record screen as gif file and save it in screenshots folder.

You can run /screenshot gif directly to record a short gif with default parameters (2 seconds, 10 fps).

Parameters:

• start: start recording with the given frame rate, and keep recording until run /screenshot gif end.
• end: finish the recording started by start and save it.
• fix_time <time_second> <frame_rate>: record for a fixed duration and save automatically.

Custom Title Screen Background

Prue Vanilla Resource Pack

Just put skybox screenshots in minecraft/textures/gui/title/background and name them panorama_0.png to panorama_5.png.

With this mod

This mod allows multiple skyboxes exist, and load one randomly at a time.

Put skybox screenshot in {namespace}/textures/gui/title/background, and create a metadata file named {name}.json in the same folder, with content like this:

{
  "name": "{name}",
  "weight": 1
}

The directory should looks like:

  \{namespace}
    \textures
      \gui
        \title
          \background
            {name}_0.png
            {name}_1.png
            {name}_2.png
            {name}_3.png
            {name}_4.png
            {name}_5.png
            {name}.json

Mod will load all metadata and pick one randomly by the weight each time.
