Functional Statues Wiki & Guide

Open your crafting table and look for statue recipes in the crafting grid. Each statue has its own recipe using stone and other materials—check the guide "Craft Statues in Survival Mode" for specific ingredient layouts. All 23 statues are craftable in survival, so you can gather materials and build them without creative mode.

Statues automatically face toward the player when you place them. If it's facing the wrong way, break it and place it again from a different angle or position. See "Place a Statue and Make It Face the Right Direction" for detailed placement tips.

Statues orient themselves toward the player at placement time. To change direction, you'll need to break and replace the statue from a new position.

The mod adds a dedicated creative inventory tab that shows all 23 statues at a glance. You can also browse them in survival by checking your crafting recipes or refer to "Use the Creative Inventory Tab to Browse All Statues" for a full list.

Yes, break the statue with any tool and it will drop as an item you can pick up and place again elsewhere.
