Shear Item Frames
by sydist
Shear Item Frames lets players shear a placed item frame so it shows only its item, with waxing to lock the frame's rotation.
What it does
Shearing an item frame with shears makes the frame invisible while the item stays on display, which allows a clean decorative look. Waxing an item frame stops players from rotating it, useful in spots where an accidental turn would spoil the arrangement. The mod runs on Fabric and is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.10 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest release, published 2025-06-27.
The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. Only the first line of each feature applies to play on the server itself.
