-DMC_DEBUG_ENABLED -DMC_DEBUG_PANORAMA_SCREENSHOT

1. Now save the installation and go back to "play".

Making the files

Load up a world and fly to the place from where you want the panorama to be taken. Click F3 and F2.

Making the resource Pack

Locate your .minecraft folder. Go to "resourcepacks" and follow the tutorial Creating a resource pack if you need to. Go back to your .minecraft folder and locate "screenshots" the lowest files which should be "panorama_0 - 5".
