The Item Frame is an item similar to a display case. It displays the item or block that is inside it. Players can place items in the frame by right-clicking while holding the item. The displayed item can be rotated by right-clicking the frame.[1] Maps show their contents, and compasses and clocks work as normal.[2][3] When broken, the frame drops both itself and the item it contains. Because item frames are technically entities like paintings, they can be broken in Adventure Mode.

Uses
Item frames have many uses,[4] and can be placed on cactus blocks, pressure plates, fences, Trees, slabs and cobblestone walls, along with all solid blocks. The player can place items into item frames by right-clicking with the held item in hand.
The player can use item frames to hold items for convenient retrieval or reference, instead of having to open a chest or dispenser to retrieve specific items. This means item frames can be used to label chests, dispensers, etc. This also allows working clocks and compasses, as well as 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.
Item frames can be used to display crafting and brewing recipes, and can also be used to hold fire, allowing for safer fireplaces.
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, tripwire hooks, flower pots, redstone, etc.
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). Item frames can be used similarly as signs, allowing for decorative armrests for chairs.
Item frames can be placed against piston heads to make better-looking frames.
In Creative mode, items can be cloned by placing multiple copies of the same item in different frames. This is a handy way to clone enchanted weaponry or tools although items can only be retrieved in Survival mode or simply by destroying the block the frame is hanging on in Creative mode. It is also possible in Creative mode to place multiple item frames on the same block after restarting the save. This allows the player to stack items in the "same" frame by placing an item in the frame, saving/quitting to the main menu, and restarting the save.[5] After restarting, it is possible to place another item frame on the same block as the existing one, and the player can then place another item in the new item frame (the first item cannot be rotated after restarting the save). This can be repeated multiple times unless the entity limit is reached. Recently in the new Xbox 360 update, it has allowed to craft an item frame.

The '''camera''' is an [[entity]] that is capable of capturing and storing images. {{IN|edu}}, it works together with the [[portfolio]] item to create collections of [[photo]]s.<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-cameras-portfolios/</ref>
== Obtaining ==
The camera can be obtained in the [[creative]] [[inventory]] in Education Edition. It can be obtained by either NBT editors, inventory editors, or glitches in Bedrock Edition.
To get the block form of the camera in Bedrock Edition using an NBT editor you need to set the item name of the block in the inventory slot (<code>name:</code> ) to <code>item.camera</code>, then you need to add a compound tag called <code>Block</code> and inside of that put the int tag <code>version: 18040335</code> and the text tag <code>name: minecraft:camera</code> into the block compound tag. For the usable item / spawn egg form of the camera you just need to set the item name of the block in the inventory slot (<code>name:</code> ) to <code>camera</code>, you don't need to add the block compound for this form of the camera though.
== Usage ==
Using a camera from one's [[inventory]] captures a first-person screenshot. It may also be placed, creating a camera [[entity]] that can track the user, and take pictures from the camera's perspective. Photos that are taken with the camera appear in the [[portfolio]].
Close-up snapshots of an [[item]] on the ground can be taken by holding the Shift key while right-clicking.
Photos that are taken with the camera block are stored in <code>%localappdata%\Packages\MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\screenshots</code>.

=== Future ===
At the Minecraft [[Pocket Edition]] panel at [[MineCon 2012]], as well as one of [[Johan Bernhardsson|Jbernhardsson]]'s livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others.<ref>{{ytl|YMhyX_lKWV4}}</ref> In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader "sharing" theme planned for {{el|be}} in the future.<ref>{{ytl|Ruf6tvqsD84}}</ref>
It later got implemented into {{el|ee}}, using the camera to make screenshots and share them in a special book.
== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* A camera prevents a [[Book and Quill]] from working. Attempting to craft it or obtain it by commands gives a regular book instead, due to non-implementation of photo attaching to written books.
* The camera can take a screenshot, which appears a bit smaller with a thick paper outline having cuts on its edges, making it look like an old photograph.
* This feature is hidden from the creative inventory and from the /give command item menu.

The '''Reality vision''' was a joke [[helmet]].
== Usage ==
Reality vision was equipped via the [[helmet]] slot. When equipped, it showed a [[wikipedia:Mini-map|minimap]] in the bottom-center of the screen (which moved when the [[player]]'s camera moves). The minimap showed all [[chunk]]s that were currently rendered. The player's location was represented by a green [[beacon]] beam marker on the map.
It displayed a vision overlay (similar to the [[pumpkin]] overlay). The overlay would change to a new overlay if the player went into third person (unlike the pumpkin overlay), which made the screen appear like an old [[wikipedia:Television|television]] screen. The overlay was called <code>cantseeshit<!-- Do not change this; this is that word that is actually used-->captain.png</code> in the assets folder. It activated a [[Shaders|shader]] when equipped (<code>scan_pincushion</code>).

Bugs
- Torches can be placed on item frames, but only indirectly (possible feature).
- If the block an item frame is placed on is moved by a piston, the frame will not move. However, the frame will break upon walking into it.
- If you put more than one item in it and mine the frame you will get only one of the items back.
- If you have an item frame on your field of view, mobs will sink through wooden planks (but not wooden slabs).
- When more than one item frame is filled with the same map, only the first map is marked on by a green marker, as opposed to both of them (may be intentional).
- You can place multiple item frames in the same space by right clicking the space around the frame on the same block.
- You can put an item frame on top of any non-solid block (such as a lever or brewing stand) and they will overlap. The collision box of the item frame overrides that of the original block, so items like buttons with small boxes will be completely hidden behind the item frames making the button unusable.
- If you place the snow tile in the frame it will appear placed flat halfway through the frame.
- Blocks that have frames on them are unaffected by fire
- Fences placed below item frames break the item frame. An item frame can not be placed above a fence. Since the fence is an entity this should not happen.
- In multiplayer survival mode, it is possible to duplicate items with the item frame. Enchanted items can be cloned and will regain use and retain enchantments. This may not apply to all items.

Trivia
- The item frame is based upon a suggestion on Reddit, like the Ender chest and flower pot.[7]
- Item frames can occupy the same block as water without popping off.
- Items appear flat in the frame while blocks protrude from it.
- Placing or removing an item frame does not cause a block update. This is because it is an entity, not a block.
- When you place 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 half slabs.
- Light-producing blocks such as Glowstone , Lava and Fire provide no illumination when placed into an Item Frame.
