Item display helper

What?

This datapack helps you control item displays, by simplifing the complicated commands often used with them.

For example, normally to set the item of the item display nearest to your hand you would use:

but with the datapack you can simply do:

Note that this datapack isn’t really survival/non-admin friendly, and while I will try to make some commands admin-free it isnt my priority.

How?

- summons a item display centered on the current block
  

- kills the nearest display within 5 blocks

- sends a message to the player in chat with buttons to control the displays position

Why?

Why not just use item frames, I hear you ask? Well, when using custom model data and item frames, models larger than a block disappear when the item frame itself isn’t visible. This problem, however, does not occur with item displays!

With these highly customisable item displays, you can add intricate details to your minecraft builds, with a minimum of command knowledge!

Item displays _mostly_ work for blocks as well, however blocks with a different item model to their block model won’t display correctly. For this, you need a block display. Unfortunatly, I haven’t implemented block displays yet.
