Memory
Have you ever finished a long Minecraft building session, only to realize you forgot to document your progress? You explored a breathtaking cave, completed a massive redstone contraption, or watched the sunset from your new base, but you have no pictures to show for it. The Memory mod solves this problem entirely. It acts as your personal, automated documentarian, quietly capturing the essence of your gameplay without you ever needing to press a button.
This innovative Fabric mod works by taking a screenshot automatically at a set interval. By default, it captures a snapshot every five minutes, using the exact same process as if you had pressed the F2 key yourself. This means you get a perfect, high-fidelity record of your journey, allowing you to look back and see exactly what you were doing at any given moment. It is the perfect tool for Let's Players, builders, and explorers who want a visual diary of their adventures.
Why Choose Memory for Minecraft?
Unlike other recording software that can impact performance or require complex setups, Memory for Minecraft is lightweight and efficient. It runs entirely on the client side, meaning there is no need to install anything on your server. This makes it an incredibly accessible tool for all players. The screenshots it produces are not compressed or altered; they are identical in resolution, file naming, and storage location to the vanilla screenshots you take manually.
Here are some of the key features that set it apart:
- True Vanilla Mirror: The mod uses the exact code path as the F2 key, ensuring your screenshots are stored in the standard
screenshots/folder with the same naming convention and chat message. - Adjustable Cadence: You are not locked into the default five-minute interval. You can easily modify the timing to suit your needs, from a rapid-fire shot every minute to a slow-burn capture every half hour.
- Smart Pausing: The timer intelligently pauses when you are in a menu, inventory, or when the game itself is paused. This guarantees that all your captures are of actual in-world gameplay, not cluttered UI screens.
- Configurable Visibility: By default, the chat message that appears when a screenshot is taken is hidden, keeping your chat clean. You can choose to enable this message if you prefer a visual confirmation.
- No Server Required: This is a purely client-side mod. You can use it on single-player worlds, multiplayer servers, or any other environment without requiring server-side installation or configuration.
Understanding the Configuration Options
The mod offers a simple yet powerful configuration system. The primary method of customization is through the config/memory.toml file. Here, you can adjust the capture interval (defaulting to 300 seconds) and toggle the chat message visibility. For players who prefer a graphical interface, you can enhance your experience by installing the optional Mod Menu and Cloth Config libraries. These add a user-friendly screen directly in your game's options menu, allowing you to tweak settings on the fly without touching any files.
For those who want a seamless experience, using the foxygame.net launcher simplifies the process significantly. The launcher provides a curated add-on catalog where you can find Memory and manage its installation with a single click, ensuring you always have the correct version and dependencies without manual file management. This is particularly useful for players who are new to modding or want to avoid the hassle of manual setup.
How to Install the Mod
Getting started with Memory is straightforward, especially if you are familiar with Fabric mods. The core requirements are the Fabric Loader and the Fabric API. Once you have these foundational pieces in place, the installation process is as simple as placing the mod's jar file into your mods/ folder.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install:
- Ensure you have installed the Fabric Loader for your specific Minecraft version.
- Download the Fabric API and place it in your
mods/folder. - Locate the Memory mod jar file for your game version.

This mod supports the latest stable Minecraft versions that are compatible with Fabric, so be sure to check the specific version requirements for your loader. For players using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even simpler; its auto-update feature ensures that Memory and its dependencies are always kept up-to-date, maintaining compatibility with the latest game releases.
