by BLOODWOOF

Armor Stand Skins makes armor stands wear the skin of the player whose head is equipped on them, so a stand can look like a player.

What it does

Placing a player head on an armor stand makes the stand take on that player's skin, and the stand's arms can show the held items. A Head Skin setting turns the player's appearance off when a plain wooden stand is wanted. Cape display is off by default, and the Elytra Hide Cape option hides the cape while an elytra is worn, with only the cape texture setting applied in that case. A Cape Source option chooses Mojang, Essential or Both, and Both uses the player's equipped Mojang cape and falls back to Essential otherwise. Essential's 3D cape cosmetics are not supported, and the wardrobe capes use the normal cape mesh.

Armor Stand Skins is a Fabric mod for 26.2 only, with files released under the MIT License. It is not open source. The mod is client required and server optional: each player needs it to see the skins, while a dedicated server can install it to share the settings, and survival clients still sync settings through Armor Poser when that mod is on the server.

Key features

  1. Skin on the stand

    A player head on an armor stand takes on that player's skin, and the model follows the skin's slim or wide arms.

  2. Armor Poser posing

    With Armor Poser installed, the stand's settings screen gains posing controls, and poses made with it work here too.

  3. 3D skin layers

    Hat, jacket, sleeve and pant overlays are drawn in 3D with a distance fade on player skins.

  4. Show Arms option

    Turning Show Arms off hides the skin's arms, and the stand's own arms keep holding the items.

What the author says

Put a player head on an armor stand and it’ll look like that player. The mod uses the skin’s slim or wide model, hides the head item, and keeps the stand’s pose. Poses made with Armor Poser work too. You can still put armor on the stand, and it’ll render over the skin. Place an armor stand and put a player head on…
