Old versions of Minecraft had a two-dimensional flat "billboard" way of displaying items when they were dropped on the ground. This mod restores that look and more. You can make items look how they did in old versions of Java Edition, old versions of Pocket Edition, or you can make them face the screen for the highest readability.
