An '''item frame''' is an [[entity]]{{only|java|short=y}} or [[block entity]]{{only|bedrock|short=y}} that displays the item or block that is inside it.

A '''glow item frame''' keeps itself and the item inside it illuminated, even in the dark.{{upcoming|java 1.17|bedrock 1.17.0}}

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

An empty item frame can be broken simply by punching it.{{only|java}} If the item frame contains an item, punching it drops the item, leaving the frame on the wall.

Because item frames are [[entities]] {{in|java}}, they can be broken in [[Adventure]] mode.{{only|java}}

=== Natural generation ===

An item frame containing a pair of [[elytra]] generates in each [[end ship]].

=== Trading ===
Expert-level [[Trading#Cartographer|cartographer]] villagers have a chance to sell an item frame for 7 emeralds.

== Usage ==

[[File:Item Frame (map filled partial).png|thumb|150px|Item frame with partially filled map]]
Item frames can be placed on the sides of [[cactus]] blocks, [[pressure plate]]s, [[fence]]s, [[tree]]s, [[slab]]s, [[cobblestone wall]]s, [[chest]]s, [[door]]s, and all [[solid block]]s. They can also be placed on the top and bottom of these blocks. To place on chests and doors, the player needs to be [[sneaking]]. As item frames are an entity, multiple item frames can occupy the same block, although on different faces. It also allows non-solid blocks to occupy the same space.{{only|java}}

Players can place items in the frame by {{control|using}} the item. If a [[map]] is placed in an item frame, it enlarges to show the map in the size of a full block, with the item frame's location displayed as a green pointer on the map, pointing in the direction the item frame is facing. If this is done in the Nether, the green cursor spins around similar to the white cursor (players). If the item in the item frame has been renamed using an [[anvil]], it displays its custom name when the cursor is over the item frame. If the player places a block inside the frame, it is displayed in miniature half in, half out of the block. This can be most notably seen on stairs or slabs.

{{control|Pick block}} may be used on item frames by players in creative mode only, the control has no effect for players in survival or adventure mode. When the item frame is displaying an item, {{control|pick block}} picks the displayed item instead of the item frame.

Item frames can be placed on the lid of a [[shulker box]] that is positioned horizontally, but pop off when the lid is opened.{{only|java}}

=== Rotation ===
{{FakeImage|{{animate|Item Frame with Item.png;Item Frame with rotated Item.png;Item Frame with Block.png;Item Frame with rotated Block.png|150px}}|align=right}}

The displayed item can then be rotated by right-clicking the frame. Items displayed in the item frame can turn 45° diagonally, with a total of 8 possibilities (90° and 4 possibilities if it is a map), and the frame outputs a [[Mechanics/Redstone/Circuit#Power level|redstone signal]] depending on the rotation phase that can be interpreted by a [[redstone comparator]] (note that this rotation value is separate from the clock or compass rotation). As long as the frame remains placed, it remembers the orientation of the last item it held, and uses it for the next item it holds.{{only|java}}

=== Glow Item Frames ===
{{snapshot|section=1|je|be|1.17|1.17.0}}

When an item is placed inside a glow item frame, it appears to glow, even though it does not emit any [[light]].

== Sounds ==
Glowing item frames currently do not have different sounds.

==Trivia ==

*The item frame is based upon a suggestion on [[wikipedia:Reddit|Reddit]], like the [[ender chest]] and [[flower pot]].<ref>{{Tweet|dinnerbone|235747041286975488}}</ref>
*The item frame is the only entity to reference a block [[model]].{{only|java|short=1}} Because of this, the texture of the frame border is the same as the birch planks texture.
*Item frame is the '''only''' placeable item that can interfere with other non-full block entity.
