Mannequins
by Humble Abode
Mannequins adds posable statue blocks for NeoForge that players can dress in armor, arm with held items and set into fixed poses.
What it does
Each Mannequin Statue is a decorative block that can be posed through a GUI with scroll bars for absolute precision. Players can equip a chestplate and a helmet, give the statue something to hold in its main or off hand, and pick between several faces by sneaking and right-clicking with an axe or pickaxe. Mannequin statues react to being struck with a unique attack animation and punch particles that show the damage dealt, and they do not move when punched, even their legs.
The mod is built for players who want decoration that is more static than a living figure but more expressive than a block. Wooden dummies can be posed and suited up as well, and the mannequin's personalities give each statue a distinct look. Mannequins requires NeoForge for 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod was first published on 2024-01-27 and last updated on 2025-11-19.
