About this Mod

Tschipcraft's Armed Stands

A mod for Minecraft 1.20.x-26.1.x

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Armed Stands server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Armed Stands compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Armed Stands officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Armed Stands – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Armed Stands consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
