Display case
by erelynronald
Display case adds glass cabinets for showing armor, items and armor stands, with doors that swing open and shut on the side opposite the player.
What it does
Display cases hold armor and other items behind glass, and the view through them is left clear. The middle glass divider has been removed, and fixes for a frame z-fighting problem and texture flickering are included in the current build. Doors slide smoothly rather than swinging, and the door always opens outward toward the player, not inward.
Players open a case with a right-click on an empty hand, equip an armor stand from the armor interface, and rotate a displayed item with a shift-click. The armor interface adds a dedicated slot for armor pieces. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for Forge only, for 1.16.5, with version 1.0.1 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Armor display look
Armor is shown on stands inside the case, giving a finished look for armor collections and displays.
Clear glass view
The center glass divider was removed, so items inside a case can be seen without a blocking pane.
Sliding doors
Case doors slide open and closed instead of swinging, and right-clicking the top or bottom half opens the matching part.
Armor slot in the interface
An extra armor slot in the interface lets players place pieces directly for display.

Use cases
Armor collections
Players can show a set of armor on stands in a case, with the item view kept clear from every side of the glass.
Item showrooms
Shops, museums or base decorations can hold several items in cases, with rotation used to present each one.
Who it’s for: Players who want to show armor or items in a base or a hub, on a server or in single-player worlds. Both the server and each player need Forge and the mod to use its display features.
