Armor Stand Generator
3D preview
Options
Marker stands have no hitbox and can't be interacted with - remove them with /kill @e[type=armor_stand].
Custom name
Command
/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~1.21.5+ additionally writes the custom name as an inline SNBT component.
Pose
Pose angles are degrees, exactly as written into the Pose NBT. Arm poses only show with the Show arms option.
Equipment
Any Java Edition item ID works - the suggestions list the common ones. Leave a slot empty to skip it.
Pose, equip and summon armor stands
Armor stands are the backbone of Minecraft map making and decoration - but posing them by hand means fiddling with raw NBT rotations. This generator lets you pose every limb with sliders on a live 3D preview, equip armor and items, toggle flags like Small, Invisible or Marker, and copy a clean /summon command for Java Edition.
Live 3D posing
Rotate head, body, arms and legs with sliders and see the pose on an interactive 3D armor stand in real time.
Preset pose library
Start from ready-made poses like walking, sitting, blocking or dabbing and fine-tune every joint from there.
Full equipment slots
Put armor pieces on every slot and items in both hands - including custom player heads on the head slot.
All entity flags
Toggle Small, Invisible, NoBasePlate, NoGravity, ShowArms and Marker and see the effect immediately.
Clean /summon output
The generated command only contains the NBT you actually changed - short, readable and ready for command blocks.
Shareable configurations
Every stand you build is encoded in the page link, so you can share a pose or come back to it later.
How to create a posed armor stand
- 1
Pose the stand

- 2
Add equipment and flags
Equip armor and hand items, then set flags like ShowArms, Small or Invisible for floating-item displays.
- 3
Summon it in-game
Copy the /summon command and run it in chat or a command block where the stand should appear.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I give an armor stand arms?
- Enable the ShowArms flag - in raw NBT that's {ShowArms:1b}. The generator adds it automatically when you toggle arms on, and hand items only render when arms are shown.
- What is the Marker flag good for?
- Marker:1b removes the hitbox and gravity entirely, making the stand click-through and perfect for pure decoration. Note that you can no longer select it by clicking - use commands to modify or remove it.
- How do I remove an invisible armor stand?
- Run /kill @e[type=armor_stand,distance=..3] near the stand, or use a larger radius carefully on maps with many stands.
- Do the commands work in command blocks?
- Yes. Paste the generated /summon into a command block; coordinates are relative (~ ~ ~) by default so the stand spawns at the block.
- Which Minecraft versions are supported?
- The generator targets Java Edition and outputs modern component/NBT syntax; the pose NBT itself has been stable since 1.8, so poses work across almost all versions.
- Can armor stands hold any item?
- Yes - any item can go into the hand slots, which is how item showcases, floating tools and food stalls are built on maps.
