You can rotate the item within an Item Frame in 8 different directions, which includes diagonally positions. This is purely for aesthetic purposes, however, for the more creative interior designers, this opens up a world of decorating possibilities.

This allows you to mount readable Maps on any wall that you want. In addition to being cool to look at, this can also be useful for planning adventures. |
