Framing Screenshots Using the Depth-of-Field Blur

Positioning the In-Focus Target

Depth of Field Test3 mimics a physical camera lens by keeping nearby objects sharp while blurring the background. You can use this behavior to take focused screenshots of specific builds, blocks, or player setups.

1. Approach the structure, garden, or object you want to showcase.

2. Stand close enough so the subject occupies the foreground directly in front of your character.

3. Position your crosshair or camera angle so that distant terrain, forests, or secondary structures sit in the background.

Capturing the Composition

Once your subject is in place, fine-tune the scene:

  • Check the Background: Verify that unwanted background clutter naturally softens into a blur. Distant hills, caves, or busy builds will fade out of focus, drawing attention strictly to your build.
  • Hide the Interface: Press F1 to toggle off your HUD and hand display if you want a clean view of the scene.
  • Capture the Shot: Press F2 to save your screenshot. The resulting image will present a semi-realistic, focused photograph effect without requiring any external image editing.
