Usage
Armor stands are able to hold armor of different materials, as well as mob heads and pumpkins. Armor stands summoned with arms can also hold anything in its hand that can be held the players hand except armor, mob heads and pumpkins. The stand does not have a GUI, players interact with it directly. They are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to banners or signs. Armor stands are entities and they can be pushed by pistons, transported by minecarts, moved by water and bounced by slime blocks. An armor stand can be broken by double-clicking with the left mouse button.
At which point it and any armor is dropped as an item. Left-clicking it a single time, or simply watching it can cause it to seem to vibrate up /down, very slightly. Right-clicking it with armor selected will place the armor, if done on a bare spot (arms are not readily recognized). Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand will remove the armor, of a given item clicked upon. This is several times quicker than extensive use of the Inventory (and /or Chests) to select, remove, and replace armor, especially when combined with right-clicking while using the appropriate hotbar option.
It is possible to summon an armor stand using commands.
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1}spawns an armor stand with arms/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {Small:1}spawns a smaller armor stand.
Properties
Armor stands are not damaged by cactus, fire or lava although they do catch fire. If an armor stand is blown up by TNT, it will break and not drop as an item. Any armor on the stand will drop when the stand is broken. Armor can be automatically placed on armor stands with a dispenser, but mob heads and pumpkinss can only be added manually. Because armor stands are entities, they obey gravity (unless specially spawned without), allowing them to fall and rest on non-full blocks such as Enchanting Tables and Snow Covers.Armor stands are able to accurately render both enchanted and and all forms of dyed Armor.

<!-- IT IS SHERD, NOT SHARD! DO NOT CHANGE TO SHARD, AS IT IS NAMED SHERD IN-GAME! -->
'''Pottery sherds'''<ref group="note">The word "[[wiktionary:sherd#English|sherd]]" or "[[wiktionary:potsherd#English|potsherd]]" is used by archaeologists to refer to fragments of pottery or other ceramics in order to differentiate them from "shards" of glass, metal, minerals and other materials.
</ref> are a set of twenty [[item]]s used to craft [[decorated pot]]s with ornamental designs. They can be obtained only by [[brush]]ing [[suspicious block]]s, with the variants of sherd obtainable being dependent on the structure.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
When a [[decorated pot]] is broken with a [[pickaxe]], [[axe]], [[shovel]], [[hoe]] or [[sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[brick]]s used to craft it.
=== Suspicious block loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[suspicious block]] loot in [[trail ruins]], [[ocean ruins]], [[desert pyramids]] and [[desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[brush]].

Trivia
- Although the slab in the crafting recipe can be any stone-type slab, it will not accept red sandstone slabs, because red sandstone slabs use a different ID than other stone-type slabs.
