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.

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

Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires cobblestone, which is smelted in a furnace (see our guide on furnace creation for details) to create stone. Smelt the stone to create smooth stone. Arrange three smooth stones horizontally in your crafting grid to make a smooth stone slab.
