The camera is an inanimate passive mob<ref group="note" name="mob-family">Belongs to the mob entity family in the game's code.</ref> that is able to capture and store images. in Template:Editions, it works together with the Minecraft:portfolio item to create collections of Minecraft:photos.<ref name="screenshot-edu">https://aka.ms/MEEBookAndQuill</ref>
Obtaining
The camera can be obtained in the Minecraft:Creative inventory in Minecraft Education. It can be obtained by either NBT editors, inventory editors, or glitches in Template:Editions.
Usage
Using a camera from one's Minecraft:inventory captures a first-person screenshot. It may also be placed, creating a camera entity that can track the user, and take pictures from the camera's perspective. Photos that are taken with the camera appear in the Minecraft:portfolio.
Close-up snapshots of an Minecraft:item on the ground can be taken by holding the Shift key while right-clicking.
Screenshots from camera can be inserted into book and quill.<ref name="screenshot-edu"/>
Photos that are taken with the camera block are stored in
- REDIRECT Template:Code
Behavior
Cameras are mostly inanimate entities, but they occasionally move when falling and they move at the player's direction when they take a picture.
Cameras are classified as Minecraft:mobs in the game code, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and having effects common to all other entities. Cameras can be affected by status effects. They can be killed by Harming and Decay splash/lingering potions, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, dropping no item. Cameras can't be leashed but they can ride on boats and Minecraft:minecarts.
Cameras are harmed by Minecraft:fire, Minecraft:lava, and Minecraft:campfire damage but they never die from it. Cameras can be destroyed by any projectile used by the player, such as arrows, tridents, or Minecraft:snowballs. Cameras never drown and are invulnerable to the void, cacti, falling blocks, to explosions or by firework rockets.
Minecraft:Wardens, Minecraft:withers, zoglins, goats, and vindicators named Johnny attack cameras, but the camera remains undamaged; pufferfish also inflate when a camera is nearby. Foxes don't sleep near cameras as well.
