# Screenshot Settings<\/p>\n
ScreenshotSettings is a mod for Quilt\/Fabric that allows you to configure
\nvarious things about in-game screenshots.<\/p>\n
“Various Things” includes choosing where screenshots are saved to on-disk, as well as how you’d like them to be named.
\nRelevant information to a screenshot can be optionally embedded into the filename or metadata, such as player position,
\nrotation, active texture or shader packs, the name of the world or server the screenshot was taken on, and if on
\nsingleplayer, the world seed.<\/p>\n
This should allow for convenient sorting\/searching through screenshots by relevant metadata, and is also nice just for
\nmaking your screenshots more accessible. (Seriously, I hate having to go into my AppData folder when I’m playing on
\nWindows. It’s terribly annoying.)<\/p>\n
## Things you can do with the custom File Naming system.
\nThe file naming system is somewhat bare bones at the moment, only supporting 8 templates.<\/p>\n
– ` You can automatically organize your screenshots into folders according to what world\/server they were taken on, or what shaderpack was in use at the time of the screenshot.<\/p>\n The naming scheme I personally use is ` This results in a directory structure like the following<\/p>\n “` ### Viewing Metadata: CLI ImageMagick has releases for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and if you’re on Linux chances are you already have it installed anyway.<\/p>\n This is the way I’d recommend, because it allows you to set up scripts for searching through or organizing your screenshots, but if all you’re interested in is *viewing* metadata, perhaps you’d be more interested in a GUI.<\/p>\n ### Viewing Metadata: GUI <\/p>\n It requires that you have the base exiftool installed, but the “default” installation process for it isn’t very user-friendly. Once installed, you’ll want to navigate to your screenshot and view the `All` tab to see all of its metadata. ## This actually works with WSL. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Extra settings for your screenshots, like custom directories, metadata, and naming scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":136392,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"screenshotsettings","_minecraft_project_id":"M0QvZmyL","_minecraft_author":"fmbellomy","_minecraft_license":"Apache-2.0","_minecraft_downloads":3259,"_minecraft_follows":46,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"screenshotsettings.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":8854676,"_minecraft_version_count":32,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T23:14:17.626269Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2022-11-29T22:35:03.816204Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-10-22T05:10:11.161116Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/screenshotsettings","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":136392,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T01:21:58+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"fb46144c34b0349b470c198ce15e70f1","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,126,158,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[56,57,58,36,62,37,79],"class_list":["post-136391","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-management","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-6"],"yoast_head":"\n

\n– `
\n – The name of the world in Single Player, and the name of the server in Multiplayer.
\n– `
\n – The version of Minecraft the screenshot was taken on. (Ex. 1.19.2)
\n– `
\n – The respective coordinates of where the screenshot was taken.
\n– `
\n – The active Shader pack. (requires Iris Shaders)
\n– `
\n – Your Minecraft username. Useful for if you want to put screenshots from multiple accounts in the same place but keep them organized. (Not entirely sure why you would want to do that, but the point of this mod is to give you options, damnit!)
\n### Automatically Creating Subdirectories
\nBy including a `\/` in your naming scheme, you can create a directory structure based on the templates above.<\/p>\n

\nIf you, however, were to have many servers saved as “Minecraft Server” and many singleplayer worlds named “New World”, this wouldn’t do much to help you.
\n## A note on PNG Metadata
\nThe Windows Explorer cannot display the metadata included by this mod. You will need to get a dedicated program for windows to be able to see it.<\/p>\n
\nIf you’re comfortable using a command-line tool, you can use ImageMagick’s `identify -verbose` command to see it.<\/p>\n
\nIf you *aren’t* comfortable using a command-line tool… the best way I’ve found (on Windows, at least) is exiftoolgui.<\/p>\n
\nFor installing the base tool, I recommend Oliver Betz’s exiftool for windows.
\nIt comes packaged with a GUI installer and is just generally more convenient.<\/p>\n
\nThe metadata attached by this mod should appear at the bottom, as it does in the screenshot above. <\/p>\n
\nBecause Minecraft uses URIs to resolve file paths on Windows, you can actually use the path to an installed WSL distribution as a valid save location to make manipulating your screenshot collection via WSL slightly more convenient.<\/p>\n
