Fast Item Frames — Enhanced and Stylish Item Display System
About the Modification
This mod reimagines standard item frames in Minecraft, transforming them into high-performance and functional blocks. Now frames work faster, consume fewer resources, and offer new customization capabilities.
WARNING: after installing this mod, standard item frames are permanently converted to blocks! They will not revert to their original state after mod removal.
Key Features
- 📦 Conversion to Blocks — frames are no longer entities, significantly improving performance
⚡ Performance Optimization:
- Drastically reduced rendering and update load
- Notable FPS improvement in areas with multiple frames
- Instant reaction to supporting block destruction or piston movement
🎨 Functional Enhancements:
- Realistic breaking particle effects implemented
- Full compatibility with commands like /setblock
- Retained ability for multiple frames in single block space
- Seamless integration into existing worlds — vanilla frames auto-convert on load
🌈 Creative Possibilities:
- Dyeable frames similar to leather armor — access to over 5.7 million unique colors
- Shift + right-click with empty hand makes frame invisible, showing only the item
Installation and Requirements
🔧 Prerequisites:
- Required installation on both client and server
