Camera Mode



Camera Mode is a special mode introduced to the in 1.3.0.1 for taking screenshots of a Terraria world, providing additional controls to capture images of selected areas of the map or screen. Camera Mode is activated by pressing or clicking the camera icon above the Armor dye slots in the inventory, which replaces the gameplay interface with a specialized image capture interface. While Camera Mode is active, mouse control is used to frame the picture, and the player can neither build nor use items, but selecting an item on the hotbar using the number keys or pressing will cancel Camera Mode.

Unrevealed sections of the world will not be uncovered by Camera Mode, represented as black swaths similar to ordinary unexplored areas on the minimap.

Camera Mode is also present in the of Terraria. Although it is not fully functional (images not being stored anywhere or sometimes freezing the game completely) it can still be accessed by plugging in a keyboard and pressing the key in-game.

The most basic utility provided by Camera Mode, the screenshot, takes a full-size picture of the screen. The interface is hidden in screenshots taken using this function. The produced image is the same size as the viewable window, meaning that the size of produced images will change if the game window is resized.

Prior to taking a picture, several options can be selected to modify the camera's output.
 * : When taking a snapshot larger than the screen, Image Packing causes it to be compressed into a single continuous image, during which the completed image is "zoomed out". Disabling this feature instead produces a folder containing several exact replicas which the player will need to stitch together in an external image editor. This process is also slower to complete, but produces a 1:1 replica of the captured area.
 * : If disabled, the final image will not include the player, any pets or minions, NPCs or enemies.
 * : If disabled, the final image will be presented on a transparent background.
 * : The nine squares of flowing water /thirteen biome icons at the bottom of the Settings menu allow for the changing of the displayed biome background and water color; for example, a picture of The Crimson could include The Hallow's bright purple water and pastel tree backgrounds. This background will be applied to the entirety of the image, even if it spans multiple biomes.
