ExpandedMannequins

by soccer1992

ExpandedMannequins extends the vanilla mannequin entity on Fabric with death messages, descriptions and hide-or-show controls for servers.

FabricServer-side onlyCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.21.10 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod changes how mannequins behave on a server. Each mannequin can carry a description, a death message shown when it is destroyed, and a setting that hides or shows that description to players. Mannequin inventories are handled as well, so server staff can manage these entities with less manual work.

ExpandedMannequins requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, and the project is not open source. The author describes the mod as a work in progress.

Key features

  1. Mannequin death messages

    A mannequin can show a custom message when it is destroyed, set through the mod's death message option.

  2. Mannequin descriptions

    Each mannequin can hold a text description that is kept with the entity.

  3. Hide or show descriptions

    A toggle controls whether a mannequin's description is displayed to players.

  4. Mannequin inventories

    Inventories on mannequins are managed through the mod, which aims to make upkeep simpler.

Questions

Does ExpandedMannequins need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed on the server next to ExpandedMannequins.

Does a player need the mod to see mannequins?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Which game versions does ExpandedMannequins support?

The mod has files for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with version 1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file, published on 2026-02-15.

Can the mod be used on other loaders?

No. Only a Fabric file is published, so Forge, NeoForge and Quilt servers are not covered by this mod.
