Straw Statues adds one simple item, that when placed in the world looks just like a player model made from straw. And that's no coincidence! Open the statue configuration screen to choose any skin you like and suddenly the statue looks exactly like a real player. That's just the start of it: Equip the statue with gear, pose it as you wish, move the statue around with ease, and configure many options. Time to bring some life to your builds!

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.
