Camera Obscura Serverside Rendering Mod (26.3, 1.21.1)

Camera Obscura Serverside Rendering Mod lets you take pictures of your Minecraft world directly onto in-game map items. The mod renders every shot on the server using raycasting, so players joining your world do not need to install any client-side files. You can capture landscapes, base builds, or friends and turn them into wall art or save them as PNG image files.

Features:

• Server-Side Raycasting: Renders high-quality scenes on the server without requiring client mod setups.
• In-Game Photo Maps: Turns captured views directly into filled map items that you can hang inside item frames.
• Adds a camera tool based on the spyglass to take pictures in survival or creative mode.
• Allows saving full-resolution PNG images directly to the server files.
• Supports multi-map scaling up to 3×3 maps or high-resolution PNG exports up to 1280×1280 pixels.
• Includes custom settings for field of view, render distance, and lighting options.
• Features experimental entity rendering to capture mobs and players in photos.

Configuration:

• renderDistance: Sets the block render distance for the camera raycaster.
• showSystemMessages: Toggles in-game system messages when taking a photo via command.
• renderEntities: Enables experimental rendering of nearby mobs and players.
• renderEntitiesAmount: Limits the maximum number of entities rendered in one photo.
• fullbright: Ignores lighting levels to render everything at maximum brightness.
• fov: Adjusts the camera field of view between 30 and 110 degrees.
• biomeBlend: Controls color blending between different biomes.
• cameraItem: Chooses which vanilla item serves as the camera base model.
• cameraConsumesItem: Determines whether taking a photo consumes an item.
• cameraConsumeItem: Specifies the item consumed when capturing a picture.
• commandPermissionLevel: Sets the required permission level to use camera commands.

Commands:

• /camera-obscura: Takes a picture from the player view and gives them the resulting map item.
• /camera-obscura <scale>: Takes a picture from the viewpoint of a target entity with optional scaling up to 3×3 maps.
• /camera-obscura save: Takes a picture and saves it directly to the server renders folder as a PNG file.
• /camera-obscura save <Entity> <scale>: Saves a PNG render from a target entity with optional scaling up to 10x.
• /camera-obscura clear-cache: Clears cached textures, resource pack models, and render data.

How to Use:

2. Keep an empty map in your inventory if item consumption is enabled.
3. Aim at the scene you want to capture and right-click to take a photo.
