Edit Armor Stands

Armor stands are a great way to create and pose an NPC of your very own. This is available to anyone with the Rogue premium rank (temporary or permanent) or with the Panda /ranks.

First, find yourself an armor stand (you can build one with 6 sticks and 1 smooth stone slab) and place it down.

Then, put a flint in your active toolbar slot and click anywhere. It will open up the armor editing window:

Hovering over each of the items in this menu will allow you to adjust your armor stand:

  • Red Wool Block: X Axis: rotate body parts along the X Axis (moves side to side)
  • Green Wool Block: Y Axis: rotate body parts along the Y Axis (up and down)
  • Blue Wool Block: Z Axis: rotate body parts along the Z Axis (moves forward and backwards)
  • Nether Star: Help key (you can get more info on this plugin from the Armor Stand Editor Wiki)
  • Flower Charge Banner: Copy (copy the armor stand's settings to paste to another armor stand)
  • Feather: Paste (paste the armor stand's settings from another armor stand)
  • Book: Copy Slot 1 (select a slot to store settings -- to use this, select the Banner and click on this slot to save it. Then, open another armor stand, click on the slot and paste it to the Feather)
  • 2 Books: Copy Slot 2
  • 3 Books: Copy Slot 3
  • 4 Books: Copy Slot 4
  • Player Head: Click this to get a copy of your head (for free!)
  • Iron Helmet: Head Position (rotate the head)
  • Water Bucket: Reset Pose (reset body part position to default)
  • Left stick: Right Arm Position (rotate the right arm)
  • Iron Chestplate: Body Position (rotate the body/torso)
  • Right stick: Left Arm Position (rotate the left arm)
  • Left Iron Leggings: Right Leg Position (rotate the right leg)
  • Chest: Equipment (edit equipment -- add something for your armor stand to hold)
  • Right Iron Leggings: Left Leg Position (rotate the left leg)
  • Nether Star: Help! Click this to open a help menu in your chat box, which will take you to the Armor Stand Plugin Wiki.
  • Glow Ink Sac: Toggle Vulnerability (toggles an armor stand's vulnerability state to be invincible)
  • Compass: Rotate (rotate the entire armor stand: the armor stand will rotate clockwise)
  • Rail: Placement (move the entire armorstand)
  • Dirt Block: Make coarse adjustments (make larger movements per mouse click)
  • Sandstone Block: Make fine adjustments (make minor movements per mouse click)
  • 🚫: Disable Slots (enable and disable equipment lock)
  • Stick: Show Arms (turns arms on and off)
  • Pink Potion Bottle: Visibility (make your armor stand visible or invisible--many people use the armor stand invisible to imitate floating text)
  • Pufferfish: Size (keep your armor stand at normal size or shrink it to baby villager size)
  • Stone Slab: Base Plate (turn smooth stone baseplate on or off)
  • Totem of Undying: Toggle Vulnerability (toggles an armor stand's vulnerability state to be invincible)
  • Sand Block: Gravity (turn gravity on or off to have your armor stand go through floors, ceilings, or walls, or float in midair)

Customizing Your Armor Stand

  1. Hold the editing tool (piece of flint) in your main hand.
  2. Left or right click away from an armor stand to open menu.
  3. Select the labeled menu options.
  4. Left click the armor stand with the edit tool in hand to apply those options.
  5. Right click instead of edit in reverse!

Tips

  1. Press the "Swap Item in Hands" key (default F) while holding the edit tool to target a specific armor stand, if other armor stands are in the way.
  2. You can apply Nametags to armor stands. You use the & symbol to make colored names.
  3. You can use crouch + scroll wheel while holding the edit tool to change Axis without opening the menu
