Description
Phantom Facade adds a placeable decorative block that can impersonate any other block: place a Phantom Facade then right-click it while holding any block item to change its appearance, with action-bar feedback and the disguise preserved across saves and synced in multiplayer. By default facades are non-solid so players and mobs can walk through them and they drop as items for easy relocation; right-clicking a Phantom Facade with a stick now toggles a locked/unlocked state—locked facades gain a full-block collision so no one can enter, while unlocked facades remain pass-through. You can craft them from glass and an ender pearl or find them in the Creative inventory; use a block item to disguise and a stick to seal or open, and the lock state is saved and synced for multiplayer.
Mod Wiki
Phantom Facade
Quickstart
- Craft a few Phantom Facades (recipe below) or grab them from the Functional tab in the Creative inventory.
- Place a Phantom Facade anywhere in the world — it looks like glass by default.
- Hold any block item (e.g., a Stone brick or Oak log) and right-click the facade to disguise it as that block. A message in your action bar confirms the change.
- Right-click the facade with a Stick to lock it — this gives it solid collision so nothing can pass through. Right-click with a Stick again to unlock it and restore pass-through behaviour.
- Break the facade to pick it back up as an item and move it wherever you need.
Overview
Phantom Facade adds a single, clever decorative block that can wear the skin of any other block in the game. Whether you want a hidden passage, a secret door, or just a perfectly matched wall patch, a Phantom Facade lets you fake any block's appearance while controlling whether players and mobs can walk through it.
What It Adds
| Block | Description |
|---|---|
| Phantom Facade | A placeable block that mimics any other block's appearance. Pass-through by default; can be locked solid with a Stick. |
How To Use
Disguising a Facade
Hold a block item in your hand and right-click a placed Phantom Facade. The facade will immediately render as that block. Your action bar shows:
"Phantom Facade now looks like [Block Name]"
You can re-disguise a facade at any time by right-clicking it with a different block item. Air and other Phantom Facades cannot be used as a disguise.
Checking the Current Disguise
Right-click a Phantom Facade with an empty hand (or any non-block, non-stick item) to see what it is currently mimicking and whether it is locked or unlocked — the information appears in your action bar.
Locking and Unlocking
Right-click a Phantom Facade with a Stick to toggle its lock state:
| State | Collision | Action-bar Message |
|---|---|---|
| Unlocked | None — players and mobs pass through freely | "Phantom Facade unlocked: entities can pass through again" |
| Locked | Full-block collision — nothing can enter | "Phantom Facade locked: entities can no longer pass through" |
Abilities And Mechanics
- Persistent disguise — the chosen block appearance and lock state are saved to the world and survive restarts.
- Multiplayer sync — disguise and lock changes are immediately synced to all players on the server.
- Pass-through by default — an unlocked Phantom Facade has no collision shape, making hidden corridors and secret passages simple to build.
- Drops as an item — breaking a Phantom Facade (unlocked or locked) returns it to your inventory so it can be relocated without losing its purpose.
- Strength — Phantom Facades are relatively fragile (similar to glass) and produce glass-like sounds when interacted with.
Progression And Strategy
- Secret passages — line a corridor with Phantom Facades disguised as the surrounding stone or brick. Leave them unlocked so only players who know the passage exists can walk through.
- Hidden storage rooms — disguise a Phantom Facade as a wall block in front of a door or chest room. Lock it to fool anyone who tries to walk through; unlock it when you want access.
- Camouflaged builds — patch holes or irregularities in a build with Phantom Facades set to match the surrounding material, avoiding the need to source rare or hard-to-reach blocks.
- Traps and puzzles — mix locked and unlocked facades that look identical to create deceptive obstacle courses or escape rooms for other players.
