An upgraded armor stand that stores armor like a shulker box

About this Mod
One of the complaints about bundles when they were first announced was that they couldn't hold multiple unstackable items, such as an armor set.
This mod addresses that issue by adding an upgraded armor stand which retains its items when broken, similar to a shulker box. When the armor stand is placed down again it will have the armor equipped.
Additionally, shift-right clicking the armor stand will swap all your armor with the armor on the item.
Note: This video is outdated. The items now dynamically render all the equipped armor, as seen in the screenshots.
Crafting Recipe

Other Usage Information
- The item and its tooltip will display what items are equipped

- Empty armor racks will stack to 16 but armor racks containing items or pose data will be unstackable
- Breaking the armor rack with an empty hand or inventory slot will place the item directly into your hand or inventory in that order
- Hand Items and all armor stand NBT flags work the same and will also be saved to the item
- Curse of binding armor on the player cannot be swapped and will be ignored
- If the dynamic item rendering causes issues or you simply prefer 2D sprites, you can enable the 2D Armor Racks resource pack
- As of 2.0.0, should be compatible with all armor stand pose editors
