BoxStand

A clean armor stand GUI with mannequin models, preset poses, balloons and backpacks. Everything works from one menu, with no commands to learn.

Get started Usage

Mannequins wearing armour and elytra, with a chicken balloon

Who it is for

No commands, no admin: a survival player sneak-clicks a stand and dresses it. Every button can be locked behind a permission.

  • Shops - a mannequin wearing what is for sale, not a row of item frames.
  • Survival - dress a stand, pick a pose, turn a limb with the scroll wheel.
  • Builds and events - statues and shopkeepers, locked so nobody moves them.

Features

Armor stand GUI

Visibility, gravity, arms, base plate, lock and posing, all in one menu.

Mannequins

Replace a stand with a ModelEngine model. Three kinds with many variants are included; add your own with one config file.

Preset poses

Define any number of poses per model as animations. Players select them from a pose page; manual posing works on top.

Custom posing

Rotate each body part with scroll or WASD keys. Copy and paste poses between stands.

Balloons

Items or living mobs that float on a lead and slowly bob up and down.

Backpacks

An item shown on the stand's back. It follows the body pose.

Locking

Locked stands cannot be broken and their items cannot be taken.

Item-plugin icons

Every button can use a Nexo or ItemsAdder item. Vanilla items are the fallback.
