Beyond simple storage, an armor stand offers quick equipment changes, showcases your finest gear, and frees up valuable inventory space. It becomes an essential part of any well-organized Minecraft base.

Crafting an Armor Stand in Minecraft

Let's craft an armor stand using readily available materials. First, gather wood by chopping down trees. Convert the wood into wooden planks, then craft sticks by placing the planks vertically in your crafting grid.

Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires cobblestone, which is smelted in a furnace to create stone, then crafted into smooth stone. Finally, arrange three smooth stones horizontally to create the smooth stone slab. (See our article on furnace creation for more details.)
