How the armor stand command works

The entity data tags, and what changed in 1.21.5

/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {...} spawns a stand at your feet with the entity data in braces. Flags such as ShowArms, Invisible and NoGravity are booleans, and anything left off keeps its default.

Pose holds one [X, Y, Z] rotation in degrees per part: Head, Body, LeftArm, RightArm, LeftLeg and RightLeg. A fresh stand already has its arms and legs angled slightly (the right arm is [-15, 0, 10]), so the generator only writes the parts you changed.

Since 1.21.5, equipment is one compound keyed by slot: equipment:{head:{id:"minecraft:diamond_helmet",count:1}}. The old ArmorItems and HandItems lists are gone. Rotation:[90f,0f] sets which way the whole stand faces.

Frequently asked questions

Arms, poses, equipment and locking

How do I give an armor stand arms? +

Armor stands spawn without arms. Set ShowArms:true in the summon command, or turn on Show arms here. Arm poses do nothing visible without it.

Why does my old armor stand command not load its items? +

Java 1.21.5 replaced the ArmorItems and HandItems lists with a single equipment compound keyed by slot: equipment:{head:{id:"minecraft:diamond_helmet",count:1},mainhand:{...}}. Commands written for older versions spawn an empty stand. This generator writes the new format.

What units are the pose numbers in? +

Degrees. Each part takes three rotations, [X, Y, Z]: X tips the part forwards and back, Y turns it, Z swings it out to the side. A part left at its default isn't written into the command, which keeps it short.

What is the difference between Invisible and Marker? +

Invisible hides the stand but keeps its hitbox, so you can still hit it and knock items off. Marker removes the hitbox entirely, so the stand can't be clicked, broken or pushed. Use both for decorations players should never touch.

How do I stop players taking the armour off? +

Turn on Lock equipment. It sets DisabledSlots:4144959, which blocks placing, removing and replacing items in every slot.

How do I change a stand that's already placed? +

Use /data merge with the same tags: /data merge entity @n[type=armor_stand] {ShowArms:true,Pose:{RightArm:[0f,0f,140f]}}. Copy the part between the braces from the generated command.
