Screencapper Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I take a screenshot with Screencapper?
Press your normal Minecraft screenshot keybind (F2 by default). The mod automatically enhances the standard screenshot key, displaying an on-screen mini preview along with options to manage the capture.
How do I click the copy, upload, or delete options?
Open your in-game chat right after taking a screenshot so your mouse cursor unlocks, allowing you to interact with the screenshot options. You do not need to minimize Minecraft or open your file explorer.
How do I copy a screenshot directly to my clipboard?
After capturing a screenshot, select the mod's copy option to place the image onto your system clipboard. You can then immediately paste the image into external apps or chats.
Does Screencapper automatically upload every screenshot I take?
No, your screenshots stay saved locally on your PC by default. An image is only sent to an external space when you explicitly choose the upload option.
How do I instantly share a screenshot with friends?
Take a screenshot and select the upload option to send the file to an external space. Once the upload completes, you can immediately send the hosted image to others without leaving the game.
If I use the delete option in-game, does it remove the file from my PC?
Yes, choosing the delete option removes that screenshot directly from your screenshots folder. Only use it on accidental or unwanted captures that you do not plan to keep.
Where are my screenshots saved if I don't delete or upload them?
All screenshots are still saved locally into your screenshots folder just like in vanilla Minecraft. Using the copy or upload features leaves your local copy intact.
Does Screencapper need to be installed on a multiplayer server to work?
No, screenshot handling happens entirely on your own game client. You can preview, copy, upload, and delete screenshots on any vanilla or modded server without the server needing the mod.
Why can't I paste my screenshot right after pressing F2?
Pressing the screenshot key saves the file and shows the mini preview, so make sure you select the copy to clipboard option afterward. Also check that external screen-capture tools on your PC aren't overriding your clipboard.
Why isn't the mini preview showing up when I try to take a screenshot?
Open your Minecraft controls settings and check whether another mod is conflicting with your screenshot keybind. Reassigning the screenshot key to an unused button resolves keybind overlaps.
