In the blocky world of Minecraft, creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing armor storage solution is key. An armor stand isn't just about organization; it adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to your base. This guide will walk you through crafting your very own.

Why You Need an Armor Stand

Beyond simply storing your armor, an armor stand offers quick equipment changes, a showcase for your finest gear, and valuable inventory space saving. It becomes an essential part of any well-organized Minecraft base.
Crafting an Armor Stand
Let's craft this essential item. First, gather wood by punching trees. Then, create sticks by placing wooden planks vertically in your crafting grid.


Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires cobblestone, which you can smelt in a furnace (see our furnace guide for details) to create stone, then craft smooth stone into a slab.


Here's what you need:
- 6 Sticks
- 1 Smooth Stone Slab
Arrange these items in your crafting grid as shown below to create your armor stand.

Obtaining an Armor Stand with a Command

For a quicker method, especially if you need multiple stands, use the command /summon minecraft:armor_stand
