Invisible glow item frame (item form).

Invisible item frame and invisible glow item frame are varieties of their corresponding vanilla item frames that only show the item/map placed inside, but not the frame itself. They can only be obtained via commands (i.e. /give) and are not shown in the creative inventory[1].

Item frames (both regular and glowing) can also be made invisible in Java Edition via NBT tags inside entity data[2], where they’re widely used for map building and general decoration. However, a Mineclonia item frame consists of a static node (block) for the frame part linked to an item display entity ("wielditem" or "sprite" if it’s a map), meaning the feature requires a separate set of items (nodes) to work.

The itemstrings for the invisible item frames are:

  • "mcl_itemframes:invisible_frame" for the invisible item frame[1];

  • "mcl_itemframes:invisible_glow_frame" for the invisible glow item frame[1].
