There could be so many dup glitches with this. And lag also.

 

They wouldn't be butchered like armor stands as they are entities, not mobs (armor stands are considered mobs for some reason). They would actually be similar to paintings. I do like item frames, and used them frequently when they were able to be placed, however there were also a lot of complaints regarding the items disappearing from inside, and there is no way to lock them currently. Additionally, as someone said above, there are still duplication bugs with item frames that are not fixed or able to be fixed right now. If they were to be added, I would expect there would have to be limits of how many would be allowed in a certain chunk (like other entities: paintings, furnaces, mobs, brewing stands, etc.). Lots of new rules (perhaps a new plugin) would need to be added for this suggestion to be accepted (in my opinion.)

tl:dr: I like item stands, but I'm not convinced they should be added back because it would add a slew of new problems.

 

Bump, i want this to be visible. I have seen many creations on the internet but many require item frames, which allow you to be detailed. Add this plz!

Bump. I want this to happen.

 

+77 Love using Item frames they make rooms look so much better!

Bump.

 

+1 I've wanted item frames numerous times.
(On a side note, we could take out the option to set the item in the item frame in different directions to prevent some lag)

For the love of doge, make it happen in some sort of way.

 

In order to stop people from placing billions of item frames, there could be some sort of item frame placement application, similar to heal sign applications for a small cost, and you'd have a limit as to how many frames you could have.

 

I don't think this would be very good implementation of item frames as most people would be using item frames for building which means they will want more than one.
Lets just say that 50 people want 5 item frames in the first week (not a lot of people and not a lot of item frames), this equates to 250 applications. That will give staff members a lot more work as they then have to deal with tons more applications and placements at a location which is time taken away from doing more important things.
Now you might respond with well not a lot of heal sign applications are put in, well heal signs are 40000 ecd and item frames should be a fraction of that which is why I say that many people will be putting applications in.
I think that a compromise between the two ideas is limiting how many item frames can be in a chunk like mobs, but disable the ability to craft them and force you to buy them from the server shop for 1500 ecd and have a server sell price of 1000, this way the player price will most likely be around a steady 1100-200 ecd for a item frame and there is a limit on how many you place.
This limits the amount of item frames in the world as they are expensive and limits how many can put placed.
These rules are a win win for everyone, less lag for people who don't use item frames, but the ability to still use item frames without impacting the server.

 

Until mojang resolves the countless bugs and issues with them, this will be denied.
Feel free to resubmit when bugs are resolved.
