ItemFrames+
by kryparnold
ItemFrames+ makes item frames easier to build around by shrinking their collision boxes and adding a way to hide them.
What it does
Item frames in ItemFrames+ use a much smaller collision box, so placing blocks and interacting with the surfaces around a frame is less likely to hit the frame by accident. A shift and right-click toggles a frame's visibility, so a display can be kept without showing its item.
Visibility is decided by the server, so everyone on a server sees the same state. Each player can also force frames to stay visible on their own screen, and that preference is saved locally and synced when the player joins a server. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and the server must run the mod, while clients may add it for the per-player override.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 35 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Shrunk hitboxes
Item frames use a smaller collision box, which makes it easier to place blocks and interact with the area around them.
Invisible item frames
Shift and right-click toggles a frame's visibility, hiding the frame while the item stays in place.
Server-side toggle
The server controls visibility, so every player on that server sees frames in the same state.
Per-player override
A player can force frames to remain visible for themselves, with the preference saved locally and synced on join.

Use cases
Decorated builds
Item frames can display items on walls and floors without the frame getting in the way of building around it.
Hidden displays
A hidden frame keeps its item on show for anyone who can see it while the frame itself disappears from view.
Who it’s for: Builders, decorators and server owners who place item frames often and want them out of the way.
