Armor Rack
Armor Rack adds a storage block for armor stands that holds armor pieces and displays them on the stand, with a Quilt build alongside the Fabric one.
What it does
The mod upgrades the armor stand so it stores armor the way a shulker box stores items. A player places armor on the rack, and an item tooltip shows which pieces are equipped. Empty armor racks stack, while racks that contain items and pose data do not. Breaking a rack with an empty hand drops its inventory slots straight into the player's hand. Armor with the Curse of Binding cannot be swapped out and is ignored by the rack's handling.
Players can wear the stored set again by placing the stand down and equipping it, and shift-right clicking swaps the stand's armor with an armor item held in hand. Items keep their NBT data, and the inventory order is preserved. The project lists Fabric API as its required dependency, and both Fabric and Quilt builds are published. Armor Rack runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file targets 26.3.
Key features
Armor storage on stands
An upgraded armor stand holds armor pieces in slots, similar to a shulker box holding items.
Tooltip with equipped items
The item tooltip lists the armor pieces stored on the rack, so the set can be checked without opening it.
Stacking and breaking
Empty racks stack, and breaking a rack with an empty hand moves its contents directly into the hand.
2D sprite option
Dynamic rendering of equipped armor can cause problems, so a 2D Armor Racks option uses sprites instead, and a resource pack can supply them.

What the author says
One of the complaints about bundles when they were first announced was that they couldn't hold multiple unstackable items, such as an armor set. This mod addresses that issue by adding an upgraded armor stand which retains its items when broken, similar to a shulker box. When the armor stand is placed down again it…
