Invisible Itemframes
by atiedebee
Invisible Itemframes lets survival players place item frames that look like plain wall surfaces while still holding an item.
What it does
Invisible Itemframes gives survival players access to invisible item frames. A frame of this kind stays hidden until a player needs it, so a display can sit flush against a wall without a visible frame around the item. When an item is taken out of the frame, the frame becomes visible again, so the player can see where the display sits.
The mod changes how item frames behave when an item is removed. Breaking an item frame that has had its item taken out drops the frame on the ground, and the frame entity is left in place for players who take items out of it. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target 1.20 – 1.20.1, and the latest Fabric file is 0.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2023-06-20.
Key features
Invisible item frames
Survival players can place item frames that do not show their frame model on the wall, so the item appears to float.
Frame restored after removal
Taking an item out of the frame makes the frame visible again, so the frame reappears once the item is gone.
Drop on break
Breaking an item frame whose item has been taken out drops the frame on the ground as an item.
Frame entity kept
Taking items out leaves the frame entity in place, which the author recommends for keeping displays stable.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want item frames that do not stand out on the wall, in builds made for Fabric on 1.20 – 1.20.1.
How it compares
Enchanted Frames is also server-side only and open source, but it is released under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 on Fabric. Item Frame Tweaks is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.19.3 – 1.21.1, so it changes the client rather than the server. Visibility toggle is server required with client optional and is not open source, and it reaches Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.16 – 26.3.
