Description
Eye Camera
Capture the world through your own eyes — literally.
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 — even when they are offline.
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.
Features
The Implant
- Craft an Eye Camera from amethyst shards, glass, redstone, an ender eye and an iron ingot.
- Right-click and hold to implant. The animation reuses the spyglass pose and takes 5 seconds.
- The implant is permanent — 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 — adds weight to risky expeditions.)
- An implanted player gains the ability to capture, send, and delete photos. Without an implant, the Photo Album is read-only.
Taking Photos
- Press K (rebindable) to capture a screenshot.
- Configurable capture resolution and JPEG quality.
- Optional HUD hide on capture so your photos do not show hotbars or hearts.
- Optional capture sound and a configurable cooldown to prevent spam.
- Captures run on a worker thread so your framerate does not stutter mid-shot.
The Photo Album
- Craft a Photo Album from leather, paper, a book and redstone.
- Right-click to open a 4-column thumbnail grid of every photo from the current world or server.
- Click any photo to view it full-size, scaled to fit the screen.
- Per-photo actions: Send (to another implanted player) and Delete (with confirmation).
- Received photos show "from <player>" so you remember who sent what.
- The album has a configurable maximum size with FIFO trimming — when you exceed the limit, the oldest photo gets cleared automatically.
Sharing Photos
- Send any photo to another online, implanted player from anywhere in the world.
- A searchable recipient list shows eligible players currently online.
- 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
0to disable queueing entirely). - Cross-dimension policy: server admins can allow or block sending photos across dimensions (Overworld ↔ Nether ↔ End).
- Recipients get a system message notifying them that a new photo arrived.
Per-World / Per-Server Isolation
- Photos are stored in
<gamedir>/eyecamera/<scope>/, where the scope is a hash of the world name (singleplayer) or server address (multiplayer). - This means:
- Your singleplayer screenshots stay in singleplayer.
- Each server has its own gallery — no leakage between servers you visit.
- Switching worlds or joining a different server cleanly switches the album view.
- A corrupted index file is automatically backed up to
index.json.bakand rebuilt — your photos are never silently lost.
Server Admin Controls
The mod is built for shared servers from the start:
- Master switch (
enableMod) — disable all mod features server-wide if you change your mind after install. - Send rate limit — cap how many photos a player can send per minute (anti-spam).
- Max image bytes — reject oversized uploads before they hit your disk.
- Offline retention days — control how long undelivered photos sit in the queue (
0disables queueing). - Cross-dimension allow/deny — restrict sharing to within the same dimension if you want.
- JPEG magic-byte validation — only valid JPEGs make it to the recipient's storage; arbitrary bytes are rejected.

Configuration
Eye Camera ships with two config files, edited via Mods → Eye Camera → Config or directly in config/:
Client (eyecamera-client.toml) — your personal capture preferences:
- Capture resolution
- JPEG quality
- Hide HUD on capture (on/off)
- Maximum album size
- Capture cooldown (ms)
- Show capture flash (on/off)
- Play capture sound (on/off)
Common (eyecamera-common.toml) — server-side policy (in singleplayer this lives in your save):
- Enable mod (master switch)
- Send rate limit per minute
- Max image bytes
- Offline retention days
- Allow cross-dimension sending
Compatibility
- Minecraft: 26.1.2 (exact match required)
- Loader: NeoForge 26.1.2.36-beta or newer
- Java: 25 (shipped with the Minecraft 26.1.2 launcher — no separate install needed)
- 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.
- Multiplayer: Fully supported. Vanilla servers without the mod are not affected (the mod simply does not load).
Installation
- Install the NeoForge loader for Minecraft 26.1.2.
- Drop the Eye Camera
.jarinto yourmods/folder. - (Server) Repeat on the dedicated server's
mods/folder. - Launch the game and craft your first Eye Camera.
Storage and Privacy Notes
- Photos are stored as JPEG files under
<gamedir>/eyecamera/<scope_hash>/. - The scope hash is derived from the world name or server address; the mod never uploads anything to a third-party service.
- Sent photos transit only through the Minecraft server you are connected to.
- The offline queue lives at
<world>/eyecamera/offline_queue/<recipient_uuid>/on the server's filesystem and is auto-purged after the configured retention period. - All photo data stays on the machines of you and your fellow players. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no external network calls.
Known Limitations
- The capture flash overlay is currently disabled while waiting for the 26.1.2 rendering rewrite to settle. Capture sound and HUD hide work as expected.
- Received-photo notifications are delivered as system chat messages rather than toast popups for the same reason.
- These are tracked in source as
ASSUMPTION:comments and will be re-enabled in a future release.
