ArmorStand+
by yfc
ArmorStand+ is a Fabric client-side mod that adds a cooldown to attacks on armor stands, so sweeping through them no longer breaks them.
What it does
Attacks on armor stands are limited by a cooldown, which keeps a quick series of hits from destroying the stand and dropping its items. The cooldown is adjustable, and the author recommends a value of 500 milliseconds. Because the change runs only on the client, a player can use it on a server without the server running the mod.
Settings are exposed through Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), so the cooldown can be changed in the game's mod options screen. Fabric API is required, along with Mod Menu and YACL. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, and the latest file, 1.1, targets 1.21.10.
The author describes the mod as a way to sweep armor stands safely for a personal farm built on that behavior. The code is not open source; it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and public source code is available.
Key features
Attack cooldown
A configurable delay between attacks on armor stands stops rapid hits from breaking them.
Protected drops
Armor stands stay intact during a sweep, so the items they hold are not dropped by fast attacks.
Configurable value
The cooldown length can be set in the options screen, with 500 milliseconds suggested by the author.
Sweeping farms
The protection supports armor stand sweeping setups, where a player passes through a row of stands repeatedly.

Use cases
Armor stand sweeping
A player clears a row of armor stands in one pass without losing the stands or their contents.
Who it’s for: Players who build armor stand sweeping farms on Fabric, and anyone who wants armor stands to survive fast attacks in single-player or on multiplayer servers.
How it compares
No Attack Cooldown adds a similar cooldown, but it is open source under the BSD 2-Clause License, runs on client and server, and covers 1.20.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Accidental Sweep is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for Fabric 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, so players join without installing it. Hide Armor Mod is client-side only under the MIT License, targeting 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, and is not open source.

What the author says
When you attack armor stands too quickly, they can break and drop as items. This feature prevents that issue, allowing you to safely sweep through armor stands. I recommend 500ms for attack speed cooldown value. Perfect for personal use or farm using armor stand sweeping.
