Creating an efficient armor storage solution is essential for any serious Minecraft player. These custom stands not only help organize your gear but also add decorative flair to your builds while showcasing your finest equipment collection.
Why Build Armor Stands?
Beyond basic storage, armor stands serve multiple functions. They enable quick equipment swaps, display your rarest armor pieces, and free up valuable inventory space. A well-designed armor display area becomes a functional centerpiece of any base.
Crafting an Armor Stand: Step-by-Step
The crafting process transforms simple materials into this versatile item. First, gather basic wooden planks by harvesting any tree.
Convert planks into sticks by arranging them vertically in your crafting grid.
The next component requires a smooth stone slab. Smelt three cobblestones in a furnace to create regular stone, then smelt again to produce smooth stone (our furnace guide details this process).
Arrange three smooth stones horizontally in your crafting table's bottom row to create the essential slab.
Final components needed:
- 6 sticks
- 1 smooth stone slab
Arrange these materials as shown below to complete your armor stand:
Alternative: Summoning with Commands
For quick access, use the /summon armor_stand command. This method proves especially useful when creating multiple stands or decorative arrangements.
