About this project
What does Armed Stands add?
⚔️ Features
Simple server-side mod that gives player-placed armor stands arms by default. In vanilla, the arms are normally hidden and can only be shown through commands. With enabled arms, players can place any holdable items in the mainhand and offhand slots of an armor stand.
The arms can also be toggled individually by shift-right-clicking an armor stand. Any items held by the armor stand in the arm slots will drop when toggling.
Shift-right-clicking in action
Also includes a new armor stand item texture with arms for consistency.

🔧 Installation
Download the latest release and drop the .jar file into the mods folder in your Minecraft directory.
🧩 Compatibility
Compatible with the data pack Armor Stand Poses, incompatible with the mod Armor Stand Poses.
Armor stands that are invisible, have the Marker NBT attribute, or have been summoned via commands will not be affected. The DisabledSlots NBT attribute is also respected.
