Make sure you've entered the correct player name in the statue editor and that the name matches an actual Minecraft player account. The skin will load from the player's profile once confirmed.
Can I rotate individual body parts or just use preset poses?
You can do both—select a built-in pose as a starting point, then fine-tune any individual limb (arms, legs, head, torso) by adjusting their rotation values for complete customization.
How do I make a statue hold a weapon or tool?
Open the statue editor, go to the equipment section, and select which hand slot you want to fill. You can equip any item, including weapons, tools, or decorative objects.
What's the fastest way to create multiple statues with different poses?
Use shift-click placement or set up a dispenser to spawn statues, which will generate them with randomized poses instantly instead of posing each one individually.
Can I make a statue smaller, like a child-sized version?
Yes, the mod includes a scale or size option in the statue settings that lets you create smaller versions of your statues.
How do I move a statue after I've placed and customized it?
Use the position adjustment tools in the editor to move the statue with pixel-perfect precision, or break and replace it if you prefer.
What does 'focus mode' do?
Focus mode zooms in or adjusts your view so you can see the statue more clearly while editing its pose and appearance without other elements blocking your view.
Can I hide parts of the skin like sleeves or hats?
Yes, the mod lets you toggle visibility of skin layers such as sleeves, hats, jackets, and other cosmetic elements independently.
