Player Stand
Player Stand adds a player-shaped armor stand that wears skins, armor sets and poses, and is built for Forge on 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
What it does
The stand uses a full player model rather than the simpler armor stand shape, so it can display armor outfits, custom skins and animated poses. Shift and right-click cycles through a set of predefined poses such as Heroic, Defensive and Floating. A skin is bound to a stand by right-clicking it with an empty hand while holding a non-equippable item, and players can take the stand back as an item. Binding behavior and whether an already bound stand can be retextured are both set in the config.
Survival and creative are both supported, and the stand slowly heals when left undamaged, which mimics how a player recovers. Armor compatibility is handled through the Armor Compatibility mod. The mod needs AnCore Library, and it runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, with 1.0.2 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Player-shaped stand
The stand takes the full player model, so armor and skins sit on it as they would on a player.
Pose cycling
Shift and right-click move through a list of predefined poses, giving each display a different stance.
Skin binding
A skin can be bound to a stand by right-clicking with an empty hand, and the rule is adjustable in the config.

Passive healing
