Invisible Item Frames

Invisible Item Frames

Craft invisible item frames in survival – and always find them again.

Recipe

Surround an Item Frame with 8 Glass Panes:

Use a Glow Item Frame in the middle to get an Invisible Glow Item Frame.

Features

• Truly invisible – once placed, only the item inside is visible.
• Stays invisible – broken invisible frames drop as invisible frames again.
• Find them again – hold an invisible item frame and every placed invisible frame lights up as a glass marker.
• Only for you – the markers are visible only to the player holding the frame.
• Long range – markers show as far as normal item frames are visible (160 blocks by default, configurable).
• Works with existing frames – frames that were invisible before installing are detected too.
• Recipe unlocks automatically when you pick up an item frame or a glass pane.

Commands (operators only)

Paper / Spigot servers only send item frames up to 96 blocks away. Match it with /function unsichtbare_rahmen:reichweite {bloecke:96}

Installation

Singleplayer

1. Select your world → Edit → Open World Folder
2. Put the ZIP into the datapacks folder
3. Type /reload in the world

Server

1. Put the ZIP into <world>/datapacks/
2. Run /reload

Good to know

The markers are particles – the only way a datapack can show something to a single player. After you put the frame away, they stay visible for up to 4 seconds.
