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

In the blocky world of Minecraft, a well-organized storage solution is key. An armor stand isn't just practical; it adds a touch of elegance and efficiency to your base. It streamlines equipment changes, showcases your finest gear, and keeps your inventory tidy.

Why You Need an Armor Stand

Beyond simple storage, an armor stand offers quick equipment swapping, a display case for your prized possessions, and valuable inventory space savings. It becomes an essential part of any well-organized Minecraft base.

Crafting an Armor Stand

Let's craft this handy item. First, gather wood—chop down some trees for plenty of wooden planks.

Arrange the planks vertically in your crafting grid to create sticks.

Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires cobblestone, which needs to be smelted in a furnace (see our furnace crafting guide for details). Smelt the cobblestone into stone, then craft the stone into smooth stone.

Finally, arrange three smooth stones horizontally in your crafting grid to create a smooth stone slab.

Here's what you need:

• 6 Sticks
• 1 Smooth Stone Slab

The image below shows the correct crafting arrangement.

Using Commands to Obtain an Armor Stand

Alternatively, you can use the command /summon to obtain an armor stand. This is particularly useful if you need multiple stands.

Creating an armor stand in Minecraft is straightforward, requiring readily available materials. With a little effort, you'll have a valuable addition to your base.
