Where to store a wardrobe in Minecraft: making a stand for armor

Creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing armor storage solution is crucial in the blocky world of Minecraft. An armor stand not only organizes your equipment but also enhances your base's visual appeal. This guide details how to craft one.

Why You Need an Armor Stand

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.)

Here's what you need:

• 6 Sticks
• 1 Smooth Stone Slab

Arrange these materials in your crafting grid as shown below to create your armor stand.

Obtaining an Armor Stand with a Command

Alternatively, use the command /summon to instantly obtain an armor stand. This is useful for obtaining multiple stands.
