Photo Apparatus

Simple mod that adds a "Photo Apparatus"

Recipe of a camera, 6 copper ingots at the bottom as if you were making a trapdoor, then spyglass on the top row at the center, slots on the right and the left to spyglass are empty

Once equipped, you'll see camera GUI that has viewfinder box and zoom bar.

Example of player's GUI showing viewfinder and zoom bar

Viewfinder box shows what part of your screen will be "screenshoted". Zoom bar shows your current zoom level, which you can change either slowly (using CTRL + scrolling up/down) or instantly to minimum/maximum zoom (CTRL + Shift + scroll).

Now (in survival) you need to have vanilla empty map in your inventory, since, well, this camera uses it like a film.

If you done selecting the best angle and zoom, just press right mouse button to take a picture

Example of how map looks in player hands after taking a picture
