Armor stands, done right: the Bedrock poses, arms by default, smooth turning with R, and a cleaner look

Better Armorstands

Armor stands, done right. All 13 poses from Bedrock Edition, arms on every stand, and a way to turn them that actually feels good.

All 13 armor stand poses side by side, some stands in iron, gold, diamond and netherite armor

Poses

Sneak and right-click an armor stand with an empty hand to switch to the next pose: Solemn, Athena, Brandish, Honor, Entertain, Salute, Riposte, Zombie, Can-can, Hero and more. Or wire it up: a redstone signal next to a stand picks a pose by its strength.

Two armor stands next to a redstone block and a redstone torch switched to the Solemn pose, the middle one keeps the default pose

Turn them with R

Look at a stand, hold R and move your mouse. The stand turns smoothly, your camera stays still and the base plate stays put. Sneak for clean 15 degree steps.

The small things

Every new armor stand has arms, like in Bedrock.
Shears remove the base plate, for clean displays. Click again to bring it back.
Sneak and look at a stand to see its pose and the next one.
A cleaner armor stand texture: warm oak with grain and a polished stone base.

Three armor stands without base plates in diamond, netherite and gold armor, posed Honor, Salute and Hero

Server friendly

The poses, arms and base plate work for every player on a server with the mod, even without the mod on their client. Players with the mod also get R, the pose preview and the new look.
