Camera

Centerpiece of the mod.

To take photographs with a Camera you'll need a Film Roll. To insert it, open camera attachments menu with sneak+use. Then just use the Camera to look through the Viewfinder and compose you shots.

While looking through Viewfinder, press sneak button to open the Camera Controls - where you would be able to:

  • Change Shutter Speed (brightens or darkens the image)
  • Cycle Composition Guides
  • Turn on/off Flash (if installed)
  • See current Focal Length and Frames count

For those who want to be the main subject of a photo - there is a selfie mode. Accessed by the F5 key (by default). When looking through Viewfinder - F5 will toggle only between first-person and third-person-front views.


Attachments

There are 4 attachments you can put on/in the camera:


Photograph

Final result of the process. Can be placed in a Photograph Frame, Photo Album or shared with friends.


Aged Photograph

Photograph with a sepia-like effect. Looks pretty classy if you ask me. Created by crafting a Photograph with brown dye (#exposure:photo_agers)


Chromatic Photograph

Photograph printed using mysterious process of isolating color channels and printing them one by one.


Photo Album

  • Crafted by combining Book and Quill with Phantom Membrane
  • Can have up to 16 pages. Page can have a Photograph and some text under it
  • Can be placed on a Lectern and in a Chiseled Bookshelf
  • Can be signed to give it a name and prevent editing the Album in any way

Lightroom

Used to print the Photographs from film negatives. Requires paper and dyes for every print.

Redstone:

  • When the Lightroom Block receives the redstone pulse - it will start printing the selected frame.
  • After the print - next frame will become selected.
    • After printing last frame - Lightroom will eject the negative through the front. (can be prevented by blocking front side with a non-transparent block)
  • This allows you to fully automate printing of the Photographs.

Interplanar Projector

Special filter for the Camera, that allows loading images from a file on player's PC.

  • To load the image - rename the Projector to a file path in an anvil, then expose a film with the filter attached.
    • File path should be an absolute path to the file: D:/Images/cat.png. Extension is not required.
    • Most popular image formats are supported (png, jpg, bmp, gif (will not be animated), and some others).
    • Transparency is supported, but only if the pixel is fully transparent.
  • Projector has two modes: Dithered and Clear.
    • Dithered with add grain to the image same way the regular photographs do.
    • Clear is useful when you want to load already dithered images (photographs from other worlds, for example).
  • Projector is consumed on use (make sure that path is correct, as it will be consumed even if image wasn't loaded).

Photograph Frame

Fancy display for your Photographs.

  • Has three sizes: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3.
  • Placed similar to Paintings, in that it would fill all available space that it can. But unlike a Painting, Photograph Frame can be placed on floor and ceiling as well.
  • Use an Axe on a frame to remove the border. Apply a Stick to it to restore the border.
  • Use a Glow Ink Sac on a frame to make it glow.
