Statues
by ShyNieke
Statues adds decorative statues of Minecraft mobs, a Player Statue that takes the skin of a player, and a set of statues that reference community creators.
What it does
The mod is a small decorative and functional addition. Its statues cover vanilla mobs such as rabbits, tropical fish, a pufferfish and a spider, plus several modded and fan-made figures. Some statues change appearance when placed down, and the Tropical Fish Statues come in different sizes and colors. The Player Statue is renamed after a player and shows that player's skin, and a Statue Core turns it into a full-sized Player Statue.
Each statue is made from its own recipe, and the mod adds a Statue Undying, a 3D decorative version of the totem of undying. Statues appear as survival rewards, so they can be obtained through play rather than only from creative inventory. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, on the 21 release versions 1.16.4 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.

How it compares
Simple Player Statue is a server-required mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.21.9 – 1.21.10 under a Creative Commons license, so it does not run on client and server like Statues. Sculpture is open source under the MIT License and is a client-and-server mod for Forge on 1.20.1 only. Moai Statue Paintings is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that adds paintings rather than statues.
