Changelog

All notable changes to the Screenshot Metadata Mod are documented here. This changelog focuses on functional changes to the mod itself.

[Unreleased]

• No unreleased changes yet.

[1.2.0] - 2026-02-13

Added

• Capture profiles in ModMenu (Full, Lightweight, Privacy) that apply metadata settings with one click.
• Privacy section now shows an explicit redaction preview for coordinates, server address, and world seed handling.
• Added game mode metadata capture (GameMode) alongside difficulty.

Changed

• Removed keybind-based tag entry flow and shifted configuration to ModMenu only.
• Config now stores configSchemaVersion and auto-migrates older config files on load.
• Updated development runtime Mod Menu compatibility for Minecraft 1.21.11.

Fixed

• Reduced risk of Mod Menu config screen freezes by removing per-frame UI reinitialization during scrolling.

[1.1.0] - 2026-02-04

Added

• Privacy mode toggle (obfuscates coords, hides server IP, hashes world seed)
• Screenshot filename templates with presets
• Tag input screen (keybind) with tag export to JSON/XMP
• ModMenu tooltips and collapsible sections

Fixed

• Mixin package crash when loading helper classes in the mixin package
• Fixed PNG metadata write failures by correcting PNG iTXtEntry fields (text instead of value), which prevented metadata merge/write errors.
• Fixed metadata fallback reliability by rebuilding image metadata before switching from iTXt to tEXt.
• Fixed low-information PNG write logs (null) by reporting the underlying exception reason.

[1.0.4.2] - 2026-02-03

Added

• Weather metadata (rain/thunder state + gradients) with ModMenu toggle
• Optional JSON-only modpack context: enabled resource packs, shader pack name, and truncated mod list

Improved

• ModMenu config screen: visible section headers and dynamic scroll bounds
• PNG metadata now prefers iTXt chunks with tEXt fallback for broader Unicode support

[1.0.4.1]

Fixed

• Fixed blur effect crash in ModMenu config screen by preventing double blur rendering
• Fixed Gradle configuration cache compatibility issue in processResources task

Improved

• Optimized config screen rendering to reduce FPS impact - eliminated redundant render calls
• Improved scroll performance by removing unnecessary UI reconstruction on every scroll event

[1.0.4]

Added

• Performance metrics: Render distance and simulation distance tracking
• Player status metadata: Game difficulty level tracking
• Equipment tracking: Full armor inventory and equipped items
• Potion effects: Active status effects with amplifiers and durations
• Metadata filtering: Configuration options to include/exclude specific metadata categories

Improved

• File detection with exponential backoff retry strategy (100ms to 1000ms increments)
• Fallback file detection: Checks temp directory and downloads folder if primary location fails
• Configuration system with granular metadata filtering options

[1.0.3.10] - 2026-01-30
