Photo modes are a pretty common feature for video games where players go
bounding around an interesting open world. Today, Minecraft joined their
ranks, making an in-game camera available in the Minecraft Marketplace as a
free add-on called Vibrant Memories. The feature requires a copy of
Minecraft's Bedrock Edition on any platform; the Java version doesn't appear
to support the camera.

As well as capturing the moment as-is and saving particular camera angles to
reuse later, Vibrant Memories will let a player decide whether or not to
appear in the image. It will also let them set whether the weather is sunny
or rainy and if the time is sunrise, sunset, day or night.

That's a pared-back take on photo mode, but then in many ways, Minecraft is a
pared-back game. Sure, it's gotten loads of new features and creatures over
the past 15 years, but at heart, it's just about mining and crafting.
