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

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.

Future

At the Minecraft Minecraft:Pocket Edition panel at MINECON 2012, as well as one of Jbernhardsson's livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others.<ref>

Issues

Script error: No such module "Issue list".

Trivia

  • A camera prevents a book and quill from working. Attempting to craft it or obtain it by commands gives a regular book instead, due to non-implementation of photo attaching to written books.{{

  • The camera can take a screenshot, which appears a bit smaller with a thick paper outline having cuts on its edges, making it look like an old photograph.
