FrameShift
by Suxar1k
FrameShift changes how item frames rotate: Shift with a right-click turns an item backwards, so a frame no longer needs repeated clicks to reach the orientation a builder wants.
What it does
Vanilla item frames rotate clockwise on each right-click, so reaching a particular orientation can take several clicks. FrameShift adds a reverse action: holding Shift while right-clicking rotates the item counter-clockwise. Players use it to correct a frame's orientation in one click instead of stepping through all the rotations.
The mod is built for builders working on interiors, shops and hidden doors, where many frames need fine positioning. It keeps its footprint small and does not change how frames are placed or stored. Frames from other mods that extend the vanilla frame class, such as Quark's, are handled as well. FrameShift is distributed for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and is not open source. It is a client and server mod, and the server needs it installed alongside every player's client.
Key features
Reverse rotation
Shift with a right-click rotates an item counter-clockwise, the opposite of the vanilla clockwise turn.
Single-click fixes
A misoriented item can be corrected with one click instead of several rotations through the full cycle.
Redstone-friendly builds
Corrected frames work the same way in redstone builds, where item orientation can matter for comparators and hidden entrances.
Light footprint
The mod stays small, adds no new blocks or items, and has little effect on frame or server performance.

Use cases
Interior decoration
Frames arranged on walls and shelves can be turned to the right orientation without repeated clicks.
Shops and hidden doors
Builders setting up item displays for comparators or secret entrances can position each frame in one click.
Who it’s for: Builders and survival players who place many item frames and want a faster way to set their orientation. Server owners running modded frames from other mods can also use it, since it works with those frames.
How it compares
FrameShift is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Builder's Wrench is also a Forge mod that runs on client and server, under the MIT License, but it covers 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 and focuses on a different set of building tools. Sky's Placeables is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 under the Apache License 2.0, and is a placeable-block mod rather than a frame rotation tool.
