Armor Rack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I use the Armor Rack Mod?
Place an armor rack on the ground like a normal armor stand, then equip armor or weapons onto it. Shift-right-click the rack to instantly swap your worn gear with what's stored inside.
Can I pick up an Armor Rack with gear inside?
Yes—break the armor rack with an empty hand and it will drop as an item with all stored equipment preserved inside, taking up only one inventory slot.
Do armor racks stack in inventory?
Empty armor racks stack up to 16 per slot, but once you equip gear on a rack, it becomes unstackable to protect your custom equipment data.
What happens to cursed armor on the rack?
Armor with Curse of Binding is ignored by the mod, so it won't be swapped off your body accidentally when you interact with the rack.
Can I pose armor racks like regular armor stands?
Yes, armor racks preserve all standard armor stand pose data, and the mod is compatible with armor stand pose editors for custom display positions.
Does the tooltip show what gear is stored?
Yes, the armor rack displays all stored equipment and durability values directly in the item tooltip so you know exactly what's inside before placing it.
Can I display armor racks in item frames?
Yes, you can mount armor racks in wall-mounted item frames to create organized displays of multiple full armor sets in one location.
What if I break an Armor Rack while it has gear on it?
The rack drops as an item with all equipped gear still stored inside—nothing is lost when you break it.
Does this mod work with other armor mods?
The armor rack works with any armor that can be equipped on a standard armor stand, including modded armor, as long as it follows vanilla armor stand mechanics.
Can I swap gear without shift clicking?
No, you must shift-right-click the armor rack to trigger the swap—a regular right-click will only open the armor stand's equipment interface.
