Panorama Studio

Panorama Studio is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft Java 1.21.11. It captures a true six-face panorama without rotating the player entity, lets you browse, rename, and delete captures in game, and turns any capture into a title-screen resource pack.

Requirements

  • Minecraft Java 1.21.11
  • Java 21 or newer
  • Fabric Loader 0.18.1 or newer
  • Fabric API 0.141.5+1.21.11
  • Mod Menu 17.0.0 or newer

The mod is client-only and does not need to be installed on a server.

Use

  1. Join a world or server.
  2. Press J to open Panorama Studio, or open Mods → Panorama Studio in Mod Menu.
  3. Choose Capture and wait while the six square faces and preview are processed.
  4. Select a capture. Click its thumbnail for the full-screen drag-to-look panorama viewer.
  5. Rename it, delete it with confirmation, or choose Make title pack.
  6. Enter a resource-pack name. The mod creates <name>.zip under resourcepacks/ and enables it automatically by default.

J is the mod's only key binding and is configurable in Minecraft's normal controls screen. Capture is only started from the gallery. Settings cover face resolution, supersampling, per-face warm-up renders, and automatic pack enabling; each option has an explanatory hover tooltip.

The gallery can sort by newest/oldest capture date and filter by dimension or server/single-player world.

Captures are stored in:

screenshots/panorama_studio/<capture-id>

Renderer compatibility

Mod Behaviour
Iris Uses the normal Iris world/shader pipeline. Iris's time uniforms stay fixed for the burst while a fail-soft compatibility hook refreshes camera-dependent uniforms for every face.
Sodium Supported; Panorama Studio enables the standard FREX “flawless frames” mode during capture.
Bobby Cached chunks render normally; flawless-frames mode asks Bobby to finish loading ready cached chunks.
Voxy Uses its normal main-target render path and flawless-frames queue draining. Voxy itself requires hardware/driver support that macOS does not provide.
Distant Horizons Its normal GameRenderer hooks and LOD passes participate. A warm-up render is performed for each direction.
Entity Culling Entity and block-entity culling are bypassed in memory only during the six renders and restored immediately afterward.
Freecam by Hashalite The capture and its saved coordinates use Minecraft's active render camera, including Freecam and tripod camera positions.

All compatibility integrations are optional and fail soft. Panorama Studio can only capture chunks or LOD data the client already has loaded or cached; it cannot invent terrain the server never sent. If an optional renderer is disabled or unavailable, the ordinary rendered world is captured.

Resource-pack behaviour

Packs target resource format 75.0 for Minecraft 1.21.11 and are published as atomic .zip files. The ZIP and Resource Packs screen name follow the user-entered name, with only characters unsafe on Windows/macOS replaced. The description records the server or single-player world, dimension, and that the pack was made with Panorama Studio.

Enabling a new Panorama Studio pack deselects older packs carrying Panorama Studio's generated-pack marker so the latest background has deterministic priority; the older pack ZIPs are not deleted. Success is reported after Minecraft finishes a single resource reload.

Turn off Auto-enable generated packs if you only want the pack added to the resource-pack folder.

Known caveats

  • High supersampling and heavy shader packs can use substantial VRAM. The internal render size is capped at 4096×4096.
  • Six readback buffers can be outstanding during the atomic burst. At the 4096×4096 cap this matches vanilla panorama capture's roughly 384 MiB of raw GPU staging data before overhead.
  • Arbitrary shader-pack temporal history, screen-space reflections, or stochastic effects cannot be made mathematically seamless for every shader, although atomic rendering and overscan remove the common movement/time and framebuffer-edge causes.
  • High-resolution captures can briefly freeze the client while its render thread submits every face. This does not pause or alter a multiplayer server.
