Hidden Tools
Hidden Tools, a Utility mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, adds debug-style items that survival players normally cannot obtain, such as a debug stick and hidden light and item frame blocks.
What it does
Hidden Tools makes the debug stick, the invisible light source and the invisible item frame craftable in survival mode, without cheats or commands. The debug stick cycles through the states of blocks such as doors, slabs and lanterns, which helps with fine placement. The invisible light source gives illumination that does not show as a visible block, and the invisible item frame displays items while hiding the frame itself. Together these items serve map makers and redstone builders who want clean displays and concealed wiring.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering six release versions from 1.20.1 up to 1.20.6. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
Key features
Craftable debug stick
The debug stick can be crafted in survival and used to change block states such as door, slab and lantern orientation.
Invisible light source
A light source that provides illumination without a visible block, suited to hidden lighting in secret bases and atmospheric scenes.
Invisible item frame
An item frame that conceals its frame so displays blend into the surroundings and add no visual clutter to a build.
Hidden redstone components
Invisible light and frame blocks let players conceal light sources and displays inside complex redstone machines.
