A glow item frame is an entity‌‌[Java Edition only] or block entity‌‌[Bedrock Edition only] that keeps itself and the item inside it illuminated, even in the dark.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

An empty glow item frame can be broken simply by punching it. If the glow item frame contains an item, punching it drops the item, leaving the frame on the wall.

Because glow item frames are entities in Java Edition, they can be broken in Adventure mode. They are also targeted by commands using the @e selector.‌[Java Edition only]

Item data[edit | edit source]

Java Edition:

  •  components: the item's components tag.
    •  minecraft:entity_data: NBT applied to an entity when created from an item.
      • See Entity format. Must include id tag. Unlike spawn eggs, cannot change the type of entity created using the id tag. Data that item frames do not normally use (see below) has no effect.

Entity data[edit | edit source]

Main article: Entity format

In Java Edition, glow item frames have entity data that define various properties of the entity.

  • Entity data
    • Tags common to all entities
    • Tags common to all block entities that can hang from blocks
    •  Fixed: 1 or 0 (true/false) - If true: the item frame does not drop when it has no support block, it can not be moved by pistons, and it won't take damage (except from creative players). An item can not be placed in or remove from a fixed item frame. The item in a fixed item frame (if any) can not be rotated.
    •  Invisible: 1 or 0 (true/false) - Whether the item frame (background) is invisible. An item or map inside an invisible item frame is still visible.
    •  Item: The item in the item frame (no slot tag). If the item frame is empty, this tag does not exist.
      • Tags common to all items
    •  ItemDropChance: The chance for the item to drop when the item frame breaks. This is a 100% chance by default.
    •  ItemRotation: The current angle or rotation of the item, as a multiple of 45 degrees, going clockwise. 0 means the item is upright, 1 means the item is turned 90 degrees clockwise from the upright orientation. This value can only ever be between 0 7 and, just like its redstone output when measured with a comparator.

Block data[edit | edit source]

In Bedrock Edition, a glow item frame has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

See Bedrock Edition level format/Block entity format.
