Changes
0.7.0 — Field Notes Update
Added
Photo metadata ("EXIF")
- Every photo now records where and when it was taken — the biome, the in-game day and clock time, and the block coordinates of the photographer — stamped at the moment of capture (for both hand-held and tripod shots).
- A photo's tooltip now shows that metadata under its date: biome name,
X / Y / Z, andDay N · HH:mm. - Edited copies made in the computer's Editor carry the original capture metadata forward.
- Photos taken before this update simply show no metadata (nothing breaks).
Photography advancements
- A new "Photography" advancement tab, unlocked by taking your first photo:
- First Photo — take a photograph with any camera.
- Golden Hour — take a photo at dawn or dusk.
- Say Cheese! — photograph a hostile mob mid-attack.
- Field Researcher — catalogue 25 creatures in your Journey Guide.
Capture polish
- A small sparkle at the lens when a photo lands (when it's saved or a film shot finishes developing), with a faint blink for delayed film develops.
Journey Guide
- A search bar above the creature list — click it and type to filter the catalogue by name.
Server config
- New
fotogenic-common.tomloptions for server owners: the capture range (how close a creature must be to be catalogued), the XP rewards for new creatures / baby variants / trade milestones, and the Photo Hut spawn weight in plains villages (0 disables it).
Sell photos for value
- Right-click the Camera Technician with a photo in hand to sell it for XP and iron salvage. The payout scales with the photographed creature's rarity (passive < hostile < boss/rare) and gets a bonus if you've already catalogued it — a money loop that rewards shooting even after the dex is full.
- Photos now quietly record the main creature in frame at capture, which drives the scoring.
More technician trades
- The technician now also sells lenses (Prime, Zoom, Macro, Fisheye, Super-Zoom), unlocked at higher Journey Guide discovery counts (30 / 40 / 55 / 65 / 85) and priced in glass + salvage.
Photo of record
- Photographing a creature you've catalogued now files that shot as its "photo of record" — your Journey Guide entry shows your own best photo of the creature in place of the generic model, turning the dex into a personal portfolio. The latest shot of each creature wins.
Completion reward
- Cataloguing every creature awards the Master Photographer Trophy, a one-of-a-kind keepsake item (with a placeholder texture for now).
Enlarger
- The Enlarger now has a Save button (and Ctrl+S) that saves the framed crop — including the chosen aspect ratio — back onto the card as a new photo, like the Editor's Save As, instead of only printing it. The crop is non-destructive, so the original photo is untouched.
Photo Album
- A craftable Photo Album (book + leather + photo paper) that stores up to 128 photos so loose prints stop cluttering chests. Right-click to open a leather two-page spread showing two photos at a time, each in a white mat with a drop shadow and translucent tape across its corners.
- Collect loose photos vacuums every photo from your inventory into the album; shift-click a photo to peel it back out as an item. Flip pages with the ← → glyphs or the arrow/strafe keys.
Camera battery & recharge station
- The Digital Camera now runs on a battery — 50 shots before it goes flat and refuses to capture. A second bar on the camera item (just above the blue SD-card bar) shows the charge, running red → green and hiding when full.
- The Camera Recharge Station now opens a simple one-slot dock: drop a digital camera in and it trickle-charges 1 shot every 3 seconds up to full, showing a live battery readout. (Still the Camera Technician's job site too.)
Fixed
- The Polaroid Camera now confirms its flash toggle on the action bar ("Flash: On" / "Flash: Off") — it has no viewfinder indicator like the digital camera, so the toggle was previously silent.
- Removed a duplicate Tripod information page in JEI (the tripod showed two identical info entries).
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
