How to fill a block with an Armor Stand

How to fill a block with an Armor Stand - From above of cute little child in white wear holding wood blocks for building while standing near wicker armchair

I am making a fun animation in Minecraft with Armor Stands. I am trying to replace an Armor Stand on a specific block with an Armor Stand with leg rotation to make it look like the Armor Stand is kicking. However, when I cycle through the minecraft:blocks, it does not display ArmorStand. How can I fill a specific block with an Armor Stand?



Best Answer

An ArmorStand is an entity, not a block. Use /summon to place it. To rotate it's leg use the /entitydata command. Here's a screenshot for what you want:

The Super Command Block Thing

The lowest Command Block has the following command:

/summon ArmorStand X Y Z

Instead of X, Y, Z put your desired coordinates. For an "upgraded" ArmorStand use this command:

 /summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {Invulnerable:1b,NoBasePlate:1b,ShowArms:1b}

This command will summon a invulnerable ArmorStand without a base plate, as seen below:

ArmorStands

The upper Command Blocks have these commands:

/entitydata @e[type=ArmorStand] {Pose:{LeftLeg:[310f,0f,0f]}}

/entitydata @e[type=ArmorStand] {Pose:{LeftLeg:[0f,0f,0f]}}

It doesn't matter which one you put where, but I put the upper command into the left one. These commands will make the left leg of all ArmorStands go back and forth. If you want only eg. the closest ArmorStand to "kick", use @e[type=ArmorStand,c=1] instead of @e[type=ArmorStand]. For other Entity selectors, go to the wiki page.

The repeaters are set to max delay, except the one diagonally to the Stone block, which is at minimum delay. You could set the clock (at the bottom of the screenshot) to a different delay, but the uppermost repeater should be set to the same delay as the clock repeaters.

How do you put an armor stand on a block?

Because armor stands are entities, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and rest on non-full blocks such as enchantment tables, snow layers and slabs.
