Visibility toggle
by Lprogrammer
Visibility toggle is a datapack for Minecraft that lets a command hide or show item frames the player has placed.
What it does
The datapack adds a command that toggles the visibility of item frames placed by a player. Once it is enabled in a world, item frames can be hidden or shown again with that command, which suits builds where frames are used as displays rather than storage. It is added to a world by placing the zip in that world's datapack folder and then enabling it.
Installation works the same way on Forge, Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, since the mod is a datapack and not a loader mod. Players follow the instructions for their preferred mod loader, then launch the world and start playing. Only the server has to run the datapack; a client can join without it, so the mod works on a server alone. Files are published for 1.16 – 26.3, and the latest build is 4+mod for 26.3, released 2026-09-18. The mod is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Toggle item frame visibility
A command hides or shows item frames that were placed by a player, leaving other entities untouched.
Datapack installation
The mod is distributed as a zip file and is added to a world by placing it in the datapack folder.
Command-driven control
Visibility is changed through a command, so an operator can switch frames on and off without editing the world.

Use cases
Hidden displays
Builders can keep item frames out of sight while they hold decoration or redstone signals, then show them when a build is finished.
Server builds
Server owners can add the datapack to a world and let operators control frame visibility during events.
Who it’s for: Players who build with item frames, map makers and server owners who want a command for showing or hiding placed frames.
How it compares
ItemFrames+ is a mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that runs on the server alone, released under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.16.5 – 26.3. Toggle Item Frames is a mod for Fabric and Forge where either side can run it and neither needs it, also MIT License and open source, published for 1.17 – 1.21.10. Visibility toggle is a datapack instead, so it has no loader files and needs only the datapack folder.
