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

Creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing armor storage solution is crucial in your blocky Minecraft world. An armor stand not only organizes your inventory 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 lets you quickly change equipment, showcase your finest armor, and declutter your inventory. It becomes an essential part of any well-organized base.

Crafting an Armor Stand in Minecraft

Let's craft this essential item. First, gather wood by punching trees. Convert the wood into wooden planks, then arrange them vertically in the crafting grid to create sticks.

Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires cobblestone, which is smelted in a furnace (see our separate guide on furnace creation for details) into stone, then crafted into smooth stone. Arrange three smooth stones horizontally to create the slab.

Here's what you need:

• 6 Sticks
• 1 Smooth Stone Slab

Arrange these items 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 quickly.

This guide covers crafting an armor stand in Minecraft. The process is straightforward, using readily available materials.
