Cameras

Cameras allow you to take photos of the world, which can be displayed and manipulated just like regular maps.

Obtaining

Cameras can be crafted using 6 Iron Blocks, 1 Redstone Block, 1 Glass Pane and 1 Glowstone Dust on a Crafting Table.

Recipe for the Camera

Using

Entities (including players) will not appear in photos

Once a Camera has been obtained, it can be used to take photos by right clicking while holding it. Taking a photo requires paper in your inventory, as well as a free slot to place the photo in. Once you have taken a photo it will appear in your inventory and will behave like a regular map.

The colour depth and field of view of photos are naturally limited by the size of Minecraft maps, so experimentation is recommended for optimal results.
