Placeable Items
by AvatarKage
Placeable Items lets players set item stacks down in the world as entities, so an item can sit on the ground or on a surface like a decoration.
What it does
Items placed with Placeable Items are entities rather than blocks, and they keep their stack data, including durability, custom data and custom names, so a placed item looks and behaves like the one that was picked up. The mod is aimed at building scenes and displays with ordinary items. It is compatible with third-party mods that work with items in the world.
Kleiders Custom Renderer API is a required dependency, and it handles how the placed items are drawn. Because placed items are entities, many of them clustered in one area can lower the frame rate, so the author recommends pairing the mod with optimization mods where possible. Textures are read from a standard folder keyed by the mod ID and the item name, which the author considers the most widely used item texture format, and mods that add their own items can follow the same layout to work with Placeable Items.
Placeable Items is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. The latest file is version 1.0.0, released on 2025-02-19 after a first release on 2025-02-18. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is not open source; the license is All rights reserved.
Key features
Placed items keep their data
Placed items keep durability, custom data and custom names from the stack they came from.
Items as entities
Placed items are entities rather than blocks, so they are not limited to block shapes or block placement rules.
Custom item textures
Item textures are read from the textures folder of the item's mod ID using the item's name, so custom items can be added with their own images.
Examples in the author text
The author text includes examples of registry names and texture files, such as diamond.png, to show how an item is set up.

What the author says
This mod enables the placement of items across your world and is fully compatible with all third party mods. Do note, that the items aren't blocks but rather entities. Similar to item frames, having too many in a certain area will reduce your frame rate drastically. Its recommended to use optimization mods if possible.
