Item Frame Count
Item Frame Count draws the stack size of the item inside an item frame as a number, so storage labels made with frames show how many items each one holds.
What it does
Vanilla item frames show only the icon of the item they hold, not how many are in the stack, so a frame used as a label gives no hint about its contents. Item Frame Count draws the count over the frame, using a small xN label for the stack, and a larger text when the count is 16, 32 or 64. A full stack of 64 is tinted gold, so a player can see at a glance which frames are topped up. Players can switch the overlay on or off, and an action-bar message confirms the new state.
The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players do not need it, and it does not change how items are stored or moved. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and the code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Stack count labels
A label with the number of items in the frame appears floating to the right of each frame within range.
Full-stack highlight
Stacks of 64 are drawn in gold, which makes topped-up frames simple to spot in a storage room.
Overlay toggle
The overlay can be turned on or off, and an action-bar message reports the new state.
Clean display
Frames keep their normal look, and only the count is added, so the overlay suits any storage layout.

Use cases
Labeled storage rooms
Players who label chests and barrels with item frames can read the contents of each label without opening it.
Checking restocking
Gold labels show which frames are full, so a player can tell at a glance when a storage area needs topping up.
Who it’s for: Players who use item frames as labels in storage areas and want the stack size visible without changing the frames themselves.

What the author says
Item Frame Count is a clean overlay for anyone who labels storage with item frames. Place a stack of items in a frame and vanilla only ever shows a single icon — the count is invisible. This mod draws that number for you.
