Armor Statues
by Fuzs
With Armor Statues installed, players can pose, rotate and reposition armor stands far beyond the vanilla options.
What it does
Armor stands gain arms, rotation for every body part, a set of built-in poses, style settings and positioning tools. A stand can also be made invisible so that only the items it holds are shown. Vanilla servers that do not run the mod can still be used: with the Vanilla Tweaks Armor Statues data pack on the server, the client-side mod can stand in for the book that normally controls the data pack features, once the use vanilla tweaks triggers option is enabled in its config. Server operators can skip the data pack entirely, since the mod sends vanilla commands in the background.
Armor Statues is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, and its latest files target 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, and Forge Config Screens is optional. The code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Configuration can be changed in game through a mod menu on Fabric, or by editing the TOML files in the config folder.
Key features
Arms and body rotation
Arms can be added to a stand, and every individual body part can be rotated.
Built-in poses
A selection of ready-made poses can be applied to a stand without manual rotation.
Positioning tools
Dedicated tools help align a stand precisely, including placements used to display items only.
Invisible stands
The stand itself can be hidden so that only the items it holds remain visible in the world.

Use cases
Item displays
Builders can hide the stand and show only armor or held items in a scene.
Vanilla server play
On a server with the Vanilla Tweaks Armor Statues data pack, a player can use the client mod to control those features.
Who it’s for: Builders and map makers who pose armor stands, and server owners who want armor stand features without installing extra server data.
How it compares
Armor Stand Arms is open source under the MIT License, published for 1.16 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is needed on the server, with the client optional. Player Statues is open source under the MIT License, runs only on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2, and needs both the server and every player to run it.
