Mannequins
by efeketket
Mannequins adds craftable mannequin figures that players can pose, dress and rename, placed as decorations across a world.
What it does
Players craft mannequins and set them up as lifelike figures in builds and scenes. Each mannequin can be equipped with items, moved into a built-in pose, given a different skin and named, so a single build can hold several distinct characters.
The mod is aimed at decoration builders, storytellers and adventure map makers. Its interaction tools cover posing, naming and removing figures, and display cases store items while signalling redstone when occupied. Mannequins is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it to see the extra blocks and tools. The code is open source under the MIT License, and files exist for 1.21.10 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.4+mod for 26.3 as the latest build.
Key features
Posable mannequins
Mannequins cycle through built-in poses such as swimming and sneaking, and a stick and a compass set custom poses.
Equipment and skins
A mannequin can wear items and change its skin, so it can represent a particular character in a scene.
Naming and head turns
Name tags rename a mannequin, and it can turn its head toward the nearest player or tilt it up or down.
Display cases
Interactive display cases hold items, change how they look and emit redstone signals while occupied.
Silk Touch and Fortune switch
A right-click swaps a tool between the Silk Touch and Fortune enchantments.
