Force 2D Items
by aubymori
Force 2D Items makes dropped items render as flat sprites on Ornithe, even when Fancy graphics are turned on.
What it does
Dropped items normally appear as 3D models when Fancy graphics are enabled. This client-side mod overrides that so every item on the ground is drawn as a flat 2D sprite. It changes only the rendering of dropped items and leaves crafting, inventories and gameplay untouched. Only the client needs it, so a player can add it to any server without the server installing anything.
The mod is built for the Ornithe loader and is published for the 1.7.10 release, with builds covering 1.4.6 – 1.7.10. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is not open source in the sense of a copyleft license, and it was first published on 2026-04-07.
