Create a Display Cabinet with Glowing Items

Setting Up Your Cabinet

Display cabinets let you showcase items as decorative pieces with optional lighting. Start by crafting a wooden cabinet frame—these come in different wood types to match your build style.

Installation and Lighting

1. Place your cabinet on a wall or counter surface

2. Right-click the cabinet to open its display interface

3. Place items inside to see them rendered behind the glass

4. If you want items to glow, use an illuminated cabinet variant instead of the standard version

The interior wool background is customizable by wood type, giving you color options that complement your décor. Illuminated cabinets emit light without requiring redstone—they work immediately once placed. This makes them ideal for displaying valuable items, enchanted gear, or decorative blocks in kitchens, shops, and trophy rooms. Mix cabinet types across a wall to create visual interest while keeping your prized possessions visible and protected from the environment.
