Armor stands can be given shields with dispensers, even in survival. You can use this to make crooked pictures!

Do you know what this means?

It means Armor Stands have magical levitation abilities!

Is it the illuminati nose?

Dispite it being one of the few objects that can fall.

This is sadly a bug: MC-112533

Would be really great if armor stands had arms by default

I'd be overjoyed if one of the devs said "Working as intended" for this.

I'm always torn about this. On the one hand, it's a nice 'feature' but on the other hand bugs DO need fixed. Otherwise you try to do something two years down the road and it breaks for an indecipherable, arcane reason and you waste hours or days tracking and fixing down a two year old bug. Then you fix that bug so your new thing works, and the playerbase is pissed at you for breaking their cool feature.

For bugs the community likes, it's always, always better to fix it and then re-implement it as an actual feature.

Yeah. i Would love this as a feature.

It doesn't surprise me that this bug isn't a high priority for them.

Can someone explain why they don't just have arms enabled by default?

Mojang.

So is this the way to put shields on armor stands?

[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:33:28 on January 21, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Nice discovery - it's a shame it doesn't force the arms to appear.

It certainly doesn't seem to function as desired, though - you can't seem to take the shield off the armour stand as you can pieces of armour...

Resource packs? Armor stands don't have that model by default!

puy33321 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:37:10 on January 21, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You can't yet change the models of any entities using resource packs. It's a completely normal armorstand. :)

I'm sorry I meant Item Model ;)

Oooh, that makes more sense, haha! I didn't even notice that without you pointing it out...I kinda want it. :P

Here's the resource pack I got it from:

http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/true-3d-items/

I modified it a bit myself and took out some of the ones I didn't want for my personal pack, I forgot I had it on when I recorded this.

puy33321 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:02:43 on January 22, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Awesome, thanks! I'll probably add some of these to my personal pack as well.
