ModernShowcase
by dru40309
ModernShowcase lets a player place a glass case that displays an item at custom scale, angle and rotation, similar in purpose to an item frame.
What it does
A showcase holds one displayed item inside glass. The owner can adjust its scale, which ranges from 1 to 10 with a default of 7, and set position offsets and the yaw and pitch of the display. Each case can be set to keep facing the player or to remain fixed, and its glass can be turned on or off to change visibility. Automatic rotation has a configurable speed with 0 as the default, and a setting controls whether a player who crafts the item can place the showcase.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server needs it. It runs on NeoForge, and the same plugin is listed for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia. Showcase settings and item data are stored in the chunk through PersistentDataContainer, so the state persists with the world. The source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Glass showcase display

A toggle decides whether the displayed item always faces the player or stays at a fixed orientation.
Auto rotation
The displayed item can turn continuously at a configurable speed, with 0 as the default.
Chunk-based storage
