# Eye Camera<\/p>\n
**Capture the world through your own eyes \u2014 literally.**<\/p>\n
Eye Camera is a NeoForge mod for **Minecraft 26.1.2** that turns your character into a walking camera. Craft an Eye Camera, surgically implant it (yes, really), and start documenting your adventures with a single keystroke. Browse your photos in a stylish Photo Album, and share favourites with other implanted players \u2014 even when they are offline.<\/p>\n
Built from the ground up for Minecraft 26.1.2 and the new rendering pipeline, with full multiplayer support, configurable server-side limits, and per-world photo isolation so your singleplayer screenshots never bleed into your survival server’s gallery.<\/p>\n

## Features<\/p>\n
### The Implant
\n– Craft an **Eye Camera** from amethyst shards, glass, redstone, an ender eye and an iron ingot.
\n– Right-click and hold to implant. The animation reuses the spyglass pose and takes 5 seconds.
\n– The implant is permanent \u2014 until you die. Death removes the implant; you keep what is in your inventory but lose the camera ability until you craft and implant a new one. (Intentional design choice \u2014 adds weight to risky expeditions.)
\n– An implanted player gains the ability to **capture, send, and delete photos**. Without an implant, the Photo Album is read-only.<\/p>\n
### Taking Photos
\n– Press **K** (rebindable) to capture a screenshot.
\n– Configurable capture **resolution** and **JPEG quality**.
\n– Optional **HUD hide** on capture so your photos do not show hotbars or hearts.
\n– Optional **capture sound** and a configurable **cooldown** to prevent spam.
\n– Captures run on a worker thread so your framerate does not stutter mid-shot.<\/p>\n

\n– Craft a **Photo Album** from leather, paper, a book and redstone.
\n– Right-click to open a **4-column thumbnail grid** of every photo from the current world or server.
\n– Click any photo to view it full-size, scaled to fit the screen.
\n– Per-photo actions: **Send** (to another implanted player) and **Delete** (with confirmation).
\n– Received photos show **”from
\n– The album has a configurable maximum size with **FIFO trimming** \u2014 when you exceed the limit, the oldest photo gets cleared automatically.<\/p>\n
\n– Send any photo to another **online, implanted** player from anywhere in the world.
\n– A **searchable recipient list** shows eligible players currently online.
\n– **Offline queue:** if your recipient is offline, the photo is held server-side and delivered when they next log in. Configurable retention period (set to `0` to disable queueing entirely).
\n– **Cross-dimension policy:** server admins can allow or block sending photos across dimensions (Overworld \u2194 Nether \u2194 End).
\n– Recipients get a system message notifying them that a new photo arrived.<\/p>\n
\n– Photos are stored in `
\n– This means:
\n – Your singleplayer screenshots stay in singleplayer.
\n – Each server has its own gallery \u2014 no leakage between servers you visit.
\n – Switching worlds or joining a different server cleanly switches the album view.
\n– A corrupted index file is automatically backed up to `index.json.bak` and rebuilt \u2014 your photos are never silently lost.<\/p>\n
\nThe mod is built for shared servers from the start:<\/p>\n
\n– **Send rate limit** \u2014 cap how many photos a player can send per minute (anti-spam).
\n– **Max image bytes** \u2014 reject oversized uploads before they hit your disk.
\n– **Offline retention days** \u2014 control how long undelivered photos sit in the queue (`0` disables queueing).
\n– **Cross-dimension allow\/deny** \u2014 restrict sharing to within the same dimension if you want.
\n– **JPEG magic-byte validation** \u2014 only valid JPEGs make it to the recipient’s storage; arbitrary bytes are rejected.<\/p>\n

\n– **Sides:** Required on both **client** and **server**. Dedicated servers must have the mod installed for any features to work; single-side installs are not supported.
\n– **Multiplayer:** Fully supported. Vanilla servers without the mod are not affected (the mod simply does not load).<\/p>\n

\n4. Launch the game and craft your first Eye Camera.<\/p>\n
\n– The scope hash is derived from the world name or server address; the mod **never** uploads anything to a third-party service.
\n– Sent photos transit only through the Minecraft server you are connected to.
\n– The offline queue lives at `
\n– All photo data stays on the machines of you and your fellow players. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no external network calls.<\/p>\n
\n– Received-photo notifications are delivered as **system chat messages** rather than toast popups for the same reason.
\n– These are tracked in source as `ASSUMPTION:` comments and will be re-enabled in a future release.<\/p>\n
\n– Built with NeoForge, the Mojang official mappings, and a healthy respect for the 26.1.2 API rewrite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
