Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Why save screenshots as jpg?

Save disk space!

Minecraft saves screenshots as ~2MB png files at 1080p. This mod changes it to ~400KB high quality jpg files which look almost indistinguishable.

Perfect if you:

Take lots of screenshots
Can't let them go
Don't want to buy another harddisk

Small downside: saving the screenshot is slightly longer, although the screenshot itself is instantaneous. Taking many screenshots in succession may cause the game to stutter.

Can I still take png screenshots?

Yes, just hold Left CTRL Key while taking a screenshot. You can change this key in the game's Key Binds setting.

About older versions

Prior to version 2.0.0, the default modifier key was Left Alt Key. Also, the jpg quality used to be worse.
