Armor Stand in Minecraft: Display, Storage, and Sculpture
Quick answer: Use minecraft:armor_stand in Java Edition commands. Craft an armor stand from six sticks and one smooth stone slab; it displays armor, elytra, mob heads, and pumpkins, and command data can pose its arms for lifelike scenes.
Displaying your gear
Place an armor stand and equip it with any armor set, elytra, or head item through the use key or dispensers. It is the standard way to store spare sets visually, build trophy rooms, and stock shop displays on servers.
Swap gear freely: take pieces off and put them back without breaking the stand. Breaking the stand itself drops everything it wore plus the stand item.
Crafting: 6 sticks + 1 smooth stone slab.
Holds a full armor set plus head slot items.
Dispensers can equip and strip stands automatically.
Poses and invisible stands
With commands, armor stands support arm poses, rotation, small size, invisibility, and disabled gravity, which map makers use to create statues, floating items, and animated scenes in vanilla.
The classic trick set includes invisible stands holding items for hologram-style displays and posed stands as mannequins in adventure maps, all driven by the same entity data.
