The Item Frame is a display case for any block or item that can be combined by right-clicking it on a wall while holding the item. The displayed item can be rotated by right-clicking the frame. Maps show their contents, and compasses and clocks work as normal. When broken, the frame drops both itself and the item it contains.

Uses

The player can use item frames to hold items for convenient retrieval or reference, instead of having to open a chest to retrieve specific items. This means item frames can be used to label chests, dispensers, etc. This also allows working clocks, compasses, and Maps, to be displayed against a wall. A map put into an item frame will show markers at any other item frames with Maps in them. This is a good way to mark certain areas.

Item Frames also have the ability, as well as paintings and signs, to be placed on objects such as chests or doors by holding down the crouch button.

A Book and Quill can be placed inside an item frame and will store all writing inside the book. This feature makes the item frame useful as it saves chest space and creates a nice image.

Since items in the frame can be rotated, this allows for directional pointing using items that are shaped like pointers or wedges - such as arrows.

Since levers, torches, and buttons can be placed before the item frame is placed, this allows for color-coded levers (using colored wool on the frame), decorative torch holders (using slabs, anvils, or trapdoors), and decorative gold trims for buttons (using an item frame inside the item frame).
