# Screenshot Location
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
This mod allows configuring the location screenshots are saved though a global config.
\nUseful for using a global screenshots directory.<\/p>\n
By default, the config for the mod is stored in a global location outside the Minecraft instance folder. The mod only needs to be configured once, as every instance uses the same config.<\/p>\n
## Usage
\nDownload the mod (developers see [below](#developers)), launch the game, join a world, run the `\/screenshot-location getConfigLocation` command and copy the path.
\nPaste that path into your file explorer of choice to open the folder and then open the `main.json` config file in an editor.<\/p>\n
Set `enabled` to `true` to enable the mod.
\nIf you want, you can customize the location. You can use user directories by specifying their name like `${pictureDir}` or `${homeDir}`, environment variables with `${env:VARIABLE_NAME}` and jvm properties with `${jvm:property.name}`.
\nPrismMC provides the `INST_NAME` variable containing the instance name, which is used in the default config to separate screenshots from different instances.<\/p>\n
After updating the config, use the `\/screenshot-location reloadConfig` command to reload it.<\/p>\n
### Developers
\nFirst add my maven repository:
\n“`kotlin
\nrepositories {
\n exclusiveContent {
\n forRepository {
\n maven {
\n name = “OffsetMonkey538”
\n url = uri(“https:\/\/maven.offsetmonkey538.top\/releases”)
\n }
\n }
\n filter {
\n includeGroupAndSubgroups(“top.offsetmonkey538”)
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
Then depend on it like this for Fabric:
\n“`kotlin
\ndependencies {
\n \/\/ localRuntime won’t be pulled in by others depending on this project.
\n localRuntime(“top.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation:screenshot-location-fabric-26.1:[VERSION]”)
\n}
\n“`
\nor like this for NeoForge:
\n“`kotlin
\nconfigurations {
\n named(“runtimeClasspath”) { extendsFrom(create(“localRuntime”)) }
\n}
\ndependencies {
\n \/\/ localRuntime won’t be pulled in by others depending on this project.
\n localRuntime(“top.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation:screenshot-location-neoforge-26.1:[VERSION]”)
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
If you want to separate normal game launches and dev launches, you’ll want to set jvm properties to overwrite the default profile:
\n“`kotlin
\n\/\/ NeoForge
\nneoForge {
\n runs {
\n create(“client”) {
\n ideName = “${project.name} Client”
\n systemProperty(“top.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation.profile”, “dev”)
\n systemProperty(“example.projectName”, project.name) \/\/ Used as an example in the default config
\n client()
\n }
\n }
\n}<\/p>\n
\/\/ Fabric
\nloom {
\n runs {
\n named(“client”) {
\n name = “${project.name} Client”
\n runDir(“run\/client”)
\n vmArg(“-Dtop.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation.profile=dev”)
\n vmArg(“-Dexample.projectName=${project.name}”) \/\/ Used as an example in the default config
\n ideConfigGenerated(true)
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
### JVM Properties
\n– `top.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation.profile` – overrides `defaultProfile` from the config, useful for having different locations in for example dev and normal instances.
\n– `top.offsetmonkey538.screenshotlocation.configPath` – overrides the config directory, could be useful for… I’m sure it could be useful for something<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
