Armor Stands

The Armor Stands mod provides a convenient interface for placing, posing, and equipping armor stands in Minecraft. Simply right-click on an armor stand to open the editor!

On servers, players need operator permissions or explicit addition via the /armorstands add playername command.

Helpful Tips

• While working with the armor stand interface, you can move freely! Use normal movement keys and hold ALT to unlock the camera.
• The mod supports copy, undo, and redo functions. Use standard keyboard shortcuts or buttons in the top left corner.
• When working with multiple stands, you can highlight the current one. Assign a hotkey in control settings.
• If a stand with gravity enabled is inside a block, it may fall through. This is vanilla game mechanics.
• The undo/redo function is especially useful for experimenting with settings. Try different options and easily revert to previous states!
• Switch between editor screens using buttons in the top right corner or keys 1-6 on your keyboard.

Configuration

Starting from version 2.0.0, the mod supports configuration files. File locations depend on the game type.

Single Player/Client

Global configuration file for the client is located at <minecraft directory>/config/armorstands.toml. It can also be edited through the settings screen if Mod Menu is installed.

requireSneakingToEdit: true|false - determines whether the editor opens with simple right-click (false) or while sneaking (true).

nameRenderDistance: <number> - distance at which armor stand names are visible. Value 0 uses default game settings.

directOnlyNameRender: true|false - display armor stand names only when targeting them.

Dedicated Server

Server configuration file is located inside the world directory: <world>/config/armorstands.toml. Additional access control settings are available here.

requireSneakingToEdit: true|false - method for server players to open the editor.

enforcePermissions: true|false - restricts mod usage to specific players (true) or opens access to everyone (false).

opsHavePermissions: true|false - grants operators automatic access to the mod (only works when enforcePermissions = true).

The utilities screen contains helpful tools for starting work with armor stands.

Pose Screen

The pose screen provides full control over the armor stand's body positioning.

Poses are grouped by categories (standing, sitting, etc.). Filter the list using top buttons and navigate pages with arrow buttons or mouse wheel.

The inventory screen has a familiar interface for quickly equipping the armor stand.

Bottom right contains two toggle switches from the utilities screen for quick access to inventory settings.

Compatibility

Dark UI

Users of dark UI themes can enable the mod's built-in resource pack for full compatibility. The game's resource packs list will show "Armor Stands mod for Dark UI".

Blur Mod

When using the Blur mod, add "me.roundaround.armorstands" to the blurExclusions list in blur.json to exclude armor stand editor screens from blurring.

If only the inventory screen should be blurred, specify other screens individually:

"me.roundaround.armorstands.client.gui.screen.ArmorStandUtilitiesScreen",
"me.roundaround.armorstands.client.gui.screen.ArmorStandMoveScreen",
"me.roundaround.armorstands.client.gui.screen.ArmorStandRotateScreen",
"me.roundaround.armorstands.client.gui.screen.ArmorStandPoseScreen",
"me.roundaround.armorstands.client.gui.screen.ArmorStandPresetsScreen"

Stylish Effects Mod

When using the Stylish Effects mod, add "armorstands:*" to the rederers -> renderers.inventory_renderer -> menu_blacklist list in stylisheffects-client.toml to hide status widgets on armor stand editor screens.
