Invisible Frames

by enchanted-games

Invisible Frames lets server owners make item frames invisible with a glass pane, and makes them visible again with a sneak left-click.

What it does

Players right-click an item frame holding a glass pane to make it invisible, and the mod marks the frame with a glowing white particle while it holds an item. An invisible frame that is left-clicked twice while sneaking becomes visible again, and the dropped item returns to the player. The mod adds an advancement that is granted when a frame is made invisible, so players can track the feature.

Which items count as the trigger is set by a tag. A datapack can extend that file to add more items. Invisible Frames is server-side only, so only the server needs it installed, and vanilla clients can join without it. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is an optional dependency. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 22 release versions 1.19.3 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published as well.

Key features

  1. Glass pane invisibility

    Right-clicking an item frame with a glass pane makes that frame invisible, a simple way to hide frames in survival builds.

  2. Visible again on sneak

    Sneaking and left-clicking an invisible frame twice restores its visibility and drops the item it held.

  3. Glowing marker particle

    An invisible frame that holds an item emits a glowing white particle, so its position can still be found.

  4. Datapack-driven item list

    The items that make a frame invisible are read from a tag, so a datapack can add or change them without code.

Questions

Does Invisible Frames need to be installed on the client?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Which dependency does Invisible Frames require?

Fabric API is required. Mod Menu is optional and is not needed for the mod to work.

Can the list of glass panes be changed?

Yes. A datapack can enlarge that tag by supplying its own file at the same data path, which lets additional items act as the trigger for hiding a frame.

What the author says

To make an item frame invisible, make sure there is an item in the frame and right-click it with any glass pane. To make the item frame visible again, sneak and left-click it or left-click it twice while not sneaking! This mod is fully server-side which means it only needs to be installed on the server.
