How to Find Minecraft Screenshots on CurseForge

Minecraft offers the possibility to capture special moments and retain useful information, such as coordinates of explored places or more complex construction projects. If you use the popular CurseForge platform to manage your mods and packages, screenshots captured in the game are not stored in the base directory, but within specific isolated folders of the launcher. Here is a detailed guide on how to find them in a few simple steps.

1. Launch CurseForge application #

Because the Moddata version files are independently managed, your screenshots are saved in dedicated folders created specifically by the launcher. The first fundamental step to recover them is to open your CurseForge desktop application and access the main screen.

2. Select Profile or Modpack #

After properly starting the program, go to the Minecraft section. Here you will have to locate and select with a click the specific profile or modpack you were using when you took your photos at stake.

3. Access the Chart of the Room #

Inside the page dedicated to the selected profile, see the space next to the main button “Play”: you will find an icon marked by three vertical dots. Click and choose “Open Folder” option from the context drop-down menu. This operation will launch File Explorer and lead you directly to the game directory related to that precise instance.

4. Locate Screenshots Folder #

Once inside the instance folder on File Explorer, navigate between the elements until you find the directory called “screenshots”. Open it and inside it you will find all the pictures, generally saved in high resolution in the PNG format, which you captured in your virtual world.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Minecraft Screenshots #

What is the default key to make a screenshot on Minecraft? #

If you use the Java Edition version of Minecraft, the default key assigned to capture the screen image is F2. Immediately after pressing the button, a text alert in the game chat will confirm the image saved.

Can I reach the screenshot folder without opening CurseForge? #

Yes, it is absolutely possible. On Windows operating systems, if you have not customized the setup process, the directory is typically located in: C:\Users\IlTuoNomeUtente\curseforge\minecraft\Instances\NomeDelTuoModpack\screenshots.

Are images taken through CurseForge compatible with other platforms? #

Of course. The screenshots captured by Modpacks managed on CurseForge are saved as classic .PNG files. They can be changed, sent to their friends or shared on social media without any kind of restriction, just like any file produced by the original Mojang Studios launcher.
