If you’re using a Windows PC to play Minecraft, all you have to do is press the F2 key. For Windows 10, you can press the Windows key + Print screen button. If you want to take a screenshot on your Xbox Game Bar, press Windows Key + G and tap the camera icon.

Java
If you play the Java edition on PC, the screenshot function is used with F2 by default. When you press it, the game confirms the action and tells you the name of the file it will be saved to. To find it, open File Explorer and type %appdata%.minecraftscreenshots in the address bar. This will take you directly to where the game stores your screenshots. You can move or share them wherever you want from this location.
In the Windows version of Minecraft, you can take a screenshot by pressing the Windows key and G to open the Xbox Toolbar. You can then select the camera icon which will open the capture settings. Here you can take a screenshot or capture your gameplay. The default location to save your screenshots via this method is C:UsersVideosCaptures.
