Item Frames attached to various surfaces.

The Item Frame is a furniture item that can be placed on a 2×2 area of background wall, placed on or hung from blocks, or placed on top of platforms. Once an Item Frame is placed, pressing the ⚷ Open / Activate key on it while holding any item places and displays that item in the Item Frame. Hitting the Item Frame with a pickaxe or drill, or pressing ⚷ Open / Activate again will retrieve the item.

Notes

• The Item Frame can also be used to place a weapon, similar to the Weapon Rack.
• Unlike the Weapon Rack, objects in an Item Frame always have the same orientation regardless of the direction used to place the Item Frame.
• Item Frames can be painted. Only the frame itself can be painted, however, not the item inside.
• Favorited items cannot be placed on Item Frames. The player must unfavorite the item first in order to display it on an Item Frame.
• Some items may interact unexpectedly with Item Frames:
  • Gel is always displayed as blue, regardless of its color when placed. Hovering over the Item Frame shows an unobtainable gray-colored Gel: . If retrieved, said Gel will be blue.
  • The Shark Fin is always displayed as , regardless of its color when placed. Hovering over the Item Frame shows an unobtainable white-colored Shark Fin. If retrieved, it will drop with the default color.
  • The Shellphone displays as , regardless of its state when placed. However, hovering over the Item Frame shows its actual state and, if the Shellphone is retrieved, it will drop in that state.
  • The Rubblemaker only displays the shovel itself, omitting the bar seen in the inventory: .
  • The Torch God's Favor uniquely appears illuminated in the Item Frame, a property not displayed in other light-related items such as Torches.

Tips

Normal, Shadow-Painted, and Echo-Coated item frames respectively. Note that the Shadow-Painted item frames are also on Shadow-Painted walls, but are not completely invisible.

• The Item Frame can be hidden by using Echo Coating, making it seem as if the item is hanging freely on the wall.
  • The Item Frame can also be concealed with Shadow Paint in combination with Shadow-painted background walls.
