Player Acrylic Figure adds placeable figure blocks that display a player's skin, styled like real acrylic stands for building display areas.
What it does
Once a figure is placed, it shows the skin of the player it is bound to. A player binds a figure with a right-click, and the figure keeps that skin afterward. Player data is stored the same way vanilla player heads store it, under the SkullOwner NBT key, so a figure carries only the reference and not a copy of the skin file.
Skin files stay on the client, where custom skin loaders are also resolved for rendering. Crafting paf commands are available, with paf as an alias of the main command. The mod is designed for servers, and its logic is adjusted for hosted worlds. In single-player and LAN play, the server-side logic still governs what a figure shows.
Installation needs Forge 1.20.1 or a later release in the range. The mod goes in the mods folder of the server, and every client that joins must also have it installed. Files are published for six game versions, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, released under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Placeable acrylic figures
Figure blocks can be placed in builds to show a player's skin, which suits display areas and showcase scenes.
Right-click binding
A right-click binds a figure to a player's skin, and the binding stays with the placed block.
Vanilla-style player data
Figures store the player reference under SkullOwner, the same key vanilla player heads use.
Paf commands
A main command and the paf alias give players a way to craft and manage figures from the chat.
