Armor Poser Mod FAQ

Shift-click on an armor stand while holding nothing (or while not sneaking into a block interaction) to open the configuration GUI. If shift-clicking just places a block or does nothing, make sure you're aiming directly at the armor stand and not sneaking with an item that has its own shift function.

Yes, that's the whole point of the mod. The GUI gives you sliders and buttons for each body part, so you can rotate the head, arms, legs, and body without typing any NBT or commands.

Open the GUI with shift-click and toggle the arms option. Once arms are enabled, the arm pose controls become usable and you can put items in its hands.

In the Armor Poser GUI there's a toggle for the base plate (sometimes labeled 'No Base Plate' or similar). Flip it and the stone slab under the stand disappears.

With the GUI open, click the item into the hand slot shown in the interface, or shift-click items from your inventory into those slots. You need arms enabled first, otherwise there's nowhere for the item to go.

Common causes: you're in creative and shift-clicking is placing a block, you're too far away, or another mod is intercepting the interaction. Try aiming at the stand's hitbox directly and standing closer.

Yes. The GUI reads the stand's current pose and properties and lets you edit them, so you can fine-tune an existing statue or shop display without resetting it.

The mod is focused on editing a single stand's pose and properties through the GUI rather than a copy/paste system. If you need identical poses, set one up and manually match the sliders on the others.

It works on vanilla armor stands, so it's generally fine alongside decoration and building mods. Conflicts can happen with mods that also override armor stand interaction or add their own stand GUI — if shift-click stops working, check what else touches armor stands.

No — posing just changes the stand's stored rotation and property data, which is the same kind of data vanilla armor stands already use. A large number of posed stands in one area can still cost performance, but the mod itself doesn't add ongoing tick overhead.
