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 in 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 or 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 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.
  • Other NBT tags can be used to create armor stands which are invisible (Invisible), have arms (ShowArms), have disabled slots (DisabledSlots), have no base plate (NoBasePlate), have no gravity (NoGravity), and are in a preconfigured position (Pose)

Properties

Armor stands are not damaged by cactus, but fire and lava can still damage armor stands. 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 pumpkins 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 sheets. Armor stands are able to accurately render both enchanted and all forms of dyed armor.

If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 with Fortune III.
