Usage
Armor stands are generally able to hold armor, mob heads and pumpkins, although commands can be used to give them other items. 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, allowing them to be pushed by pistons, transported by minecarts, moved by water and bounced by slime blocks.
Attacking it a single time, or simply watching it can cause it to seem to vibrate up or down, very slightly.
Using armor on the stand 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 and place it in the highlighted hot-bar slot.
Armor can be automatically placed on armor stands with a dispenser, but mob heads and pumpkins can only be added manually.
Armor stands can be customized further using NBT tags. NBT tags allow the armor stand to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, and other things.
Behavior
Armor stands are not damaged by cactus.
If an armor stand is blown up by TNT, it will break and not drop as an item. Otherwise, any armor on the stand will drop when the stand is broken. Because armor stands are entities, they normally obey gravity, allowing them to fall and rest on non-full blocks such as enchanting tables and snow layers. Armor stands are able to accurately render enchanted and all forms of dyed armor.
Data values
Armor stands are defined by their entity data.
