Short description:
When taking a screenshot using F2, the saved image is completely black.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch Minecraft: Java Edition
Use Intel HD Graphics 4000
Start the game on version 1.21.8 up to 26.1
Press F2 to take a screenshot
Open the screenshot from the screenshots folder
Expected result:
The screenshot should display the current game view correctly.
Actual result:
The screenshot is completely black.
Additional information:
This issue does not occur on version 1.21.4 and below. I have not tested versions 1.21.5–1.21.7.
I searched online and found that other users are experiencing the same issue. I saw several reports on Reddit from people with similar hardware.
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000
This GPU meets the minimum system requirements for Minecraft, so it should work correctly.
It would be preferable if this issue could be fixed in all affected versions, so that players who need to use older versions do not experience problems with screenshots.
Please let me know if there is a fix or if this will be resolved in future updates.
As far as I know, this issue affects Intel Gen 7 and Gen 7.5 graphics (including Intel HD Graphics 4000).
Environment
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000 OS: Windows 10
