Export High-Resolution Photos as PNG Files to Your Server

Saving a Single PNG Render

To save a photo directly as a PNG file instead of receiving a map item, use the save command:

`

/camera-obscura save

`

Aim your camera at the scene and execute this command. The mod will render your view and save it as a PNG file to your server's renders folder. This is useful for archiving high-quality images or sharing renders outside the game.

Saving Scaled and Entity-Targeted Renders

You can also save larger renders by adding a scale parameter:

`

/camera-obscura save <Entity> <scale>

`

This targets a specific entity (like another player or mob) and scales the render up to 10 times larger than a standard map. Scaled PNG exports support much higher resolution than in-game maps, making them ideal for detailed screenshots.

All saved PNG files are stored server-side, so you can download them later or use them for documentation and promotional content.
