Display Case
by dqwertyc.dev
With Display Case, a player can place a case in the world and fill it with a favorite item that stays visible while slowly rotating.
What it does
A display case is a placeable block. Right-clicking an empty case with an item inserts it, and right-clicking a full case with an empty hand takes the item back out. Left-clicking a full case drops the item on the ground, and left-clicking an empty case breaks it. A redstone signal leaves an observer pointed at a case whenever an item goes in or comes out, which lets automated builds react to the case.
Two types are craftable: the standard case, made from 5 glass blocks and 3 smooth stone, and the glow case, made from 5 glass blocks and 3 glowstone blocks. Cases can also be crafted in 34 color variants using stained glass. Server owners need the mod on the server, and the mod is required there; players can join without installing it. The release is for 26.3 only, on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build is available for server platforms. The code is MIT licensed, though the project is not open source.
Key features

Standard and glow cases

Stained glass variants

Redstone output
An observer facing a case detects when an item is inserted or retrieved, which allows the case to trigger circuits.
