Screencopy Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if Screencopy Mod is actually working?
Take a screenshot in-game using F2 (or your configured screenshot key), then try to paste the image into an application like Discord or an image editor using Ctrl+V. If the screenshot appears, the mod is working correctly.
Can I turn off saving screenshots to the screenshots folder?
Yes, you can disable file saving through the mod's config options. This prevents screenshots from cluttering your screenshots folder while still copying them to your clipboard.
Why can't I paste my screenshot anywhere?
Make sure you took the screenshot while the mod was installed and loaded—check your log file to confirm the mod loaded. Also verify that the application you're pasting into supports clipboard images (most modern apps like Discord, image editors, and browsers do).
Does this mod work with streaming software like OBS?
The mod copies screenshots to your clipboard, but streaming software typically captures your entire screen or game window directly. You can still use the clipboard feature to share screenshots separately during or after streaming.
Can I use this mod while recording gameplay?
Yes, taking screenshots with this mod won't interfere with video recording. Your recording software captures video independently, and the mod only affects the clipboard.
What happens if I take multiple screenshots quickly?
Each screenshot you take replaces the previous one in your clipboard, so only the most recent screenshot is available to paste. If you need to keep multiple screenshots, paste them into a document or folder before taking new ones.
Does Screencopy Mod work with shader mods?
Yes, the mod captures whatever is rendered on your screen, including shaders, so screenshots taken with shaders installed will copy correctly to your clipboard.
Can I paste screenshots into Google Docs or Microsoft Word?
Yes, most document editors support pasting images from the clipboard. Simply press Ctrl+V in your document to insert the screenshot.
Do I need to change any Minecraft settings for this mod to work?
No, the mod works with default Minecraft settings. You can take screenshots normally using F2, and they'll automatically copy to your clipboard.
What if my screenshot key is not F2?
The mod respects your custom screenshot keybind set in Minecraft's controls menu, so it will work with whatever key you've assigned to take screenshots.
