Better Armor Stand changes how armor stands pose and resize, with tools bound to a bone and a stick used on the stand itself.

What it does

Armor stands gain adjustable arms, which keep the default position until a player changes them. Sneaking while holding a bone and left-clicking an armor stand adjusts its posture, so poses can be set without a command. A stick used the same way switches the stand between large and small. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. It is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

The aim is posing and resizing rather than a separate optimization, although the mod is grouped under that category. Server owners who want more poses than vanilla offers will find the bone and stick controls the main interaction. The Data pack form serves servers that cannot run a loader-based mod, with its own installation steps taken from the project page.
