Description from the author on Hangar

InvisibleItemFramesLite

Forked from InvisibleItemFrames by Tiffany Bennett (Tiffnix).

A fast, minimal Paper plugin that adds craftable invisible item frames to your server; no configuration required, no commands or permissions, just drop it in and go.

See a video demo, and the gallery.

Crafting Recipe

This crafting recipe is configurable!

Features

  • Adds invisible item frames you can craft and place like normal
  • Frames are visible when empty, and automatically turn invisible once an item is added
  • Allows for container pass-through (you an still sneak to rotate items)
  • Perfect for clean builds, displays, or shops without visual clutter

Why This Version?

This is an updated, stripped-down fork of the original InvisibleItemFrames plugin. Compared to the original:

  • Lightweight performance; it's tiny, fast, and focused
  • Works right out of the box; no additional configuration is needed
  • Compatibility with newer Paper versions (1.21+)
  • Plenty of bug fixes

No command trees. No permission spaghetti. Just craftable invisible item frames that feel like they could've been shipped natively with vanilla.

Migrating from v2 to v3

Server admins are expected to update their configuration to replace any legacy chat formatting with Adventure's MiniMessage formatting: docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format. Alternatively, if you wish, you may simply delete the config file and a fresh one will automatically be generated on the next server restart.
