Name: Picture Mode
Link: https://modrinth.com/mod/picture-mode
Description: Picture Mode is a mod that adds an isometric picture taking mode to Minecraft. It is inspired by the Photo Mode from Better than Adventure. The interface is simple to use and the isometric perspective gives a unique way to capture images of structures. (description taken from the mod page as it is described there better than I can describe it).
Reason: I believe this mod would be a great addition to Loka, as it would allow players to easily take cool pictures of their towns and structures that they have built. I think it would be great to see players take fancy pictures of their creations on Loka using this mod.
Addressing Possible Concerns: I understand that some players may be concerned about whether this mod should be added, since it essentially provides the user with a birds eye view of their surrounding area. I have played around with this mod in a single player world, and I think what it provides is acceptable for Loka. My primary justification for this belief is that Loka already allows Replay Mod, a mod with extremely powerful cinematic capabilities that allows the player to see their environment with relative ease.
I support a similar rule for Picture Mode if it Loka chooses to allow it. The mod should only be used to take pictures to share with other players on Loka and not for any gameplay advantage of any kind.
Note: Picture Mode, like Replay Mod, is a client side mod. The mod does not allow you to see anything your game client is not aware of. This does not prevent malicious use entirely, but I think it is good information to include. Picture Mode also allows server owners to disable its usage entirely in specific dimensions, if that is something Loka would be interested in.
