Description
Simple Frames
Make your item frames invisible — shear a frame and the wooden border disappears, leaving just the item floating on your wall. No more ugly borders breaking up your builds, map walls, or item displays.
Fully server-side: install it on the server and every vanilla client sees the effect — no client mod required.
✨ Features
- ✂️ Shear to hide — left-click an item frame with shears and the frame turns invisible while it holds an item.
- 🧵 Leather to restore — left-click an invisible frame with leather to bring the border back.
- 👁️ Empty = visible — an emptied invisible frame reappears so you can still find and interact with it; put an item back and it hides again.
- 🎒 Survives breaking — break an invisible frame and it drops as a named, glinting item; place it and it's invisible again.
- 🌟 Glow frames too — glow item frames work the same way (the item keeps its fullbright glow).
- ⚙️ Configurable — toggle shear durability loss and leather restoration, and rename the dropped item.
- 🔒 Permission-aware — the command is gated by a permission node (LuckPerms and friends) with an operator fallback.
🕹️ How to use
- Put an item in an item frame (or glow item frame).
- Left-click the frame with shears → it turns invisible.
- To undo, left-click the invisible frame with leather.
Take the item out and the frame reappears; add an item and it hides.
🔧 Requirements
Fabric mod
Plugin — none. Just drop the jar in plugins/. Works on Paper, Purpur and Folia. An optional permission plugin (e.g. LuckPerms) lets you grant the command node to non-operators.
⚙️ Configuration
- Fabric:
config/SimpleFrames.conf - Plugin:
plugins/SimpleFrames/config.yml
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
doShearsBreak |
true |

💬 Commands & permissions
/simpleframes doShearsBreak <true|false>/simpleframes doLeatherFix <true|false>
Running a subcommand without a value shows the current setting.
The command is guarded by the permission node simpleframes.command. Grant it via your permission manager (LuckPerms / fabric-permissions-api); with no permission plugin installed it falls back to operator (level 3).
