CraftStands is a unique approach to Customized Armor Stands. CraftStands is a Datapack that adds various poses and unique Armor Stand through Crafting recipes. This is to expand the possibilities with Armor Stands, without creating too detailed Armor Stands that would not fit as close to Vanilla Minecraft. Where it doesn't increase complexity, it makes up for it with Animated Poses and Actions that feel like they are made with redstone to make Animatronics.
> This is a Resource Pack, Mod, and Ultimately a Datapack! The resource pack adds the visuals for the items of Armor Stands. To use with other resource packs that use the Items Files, please use a mod to allow both.
Please Note, this uses Dialogs which Mojang Classifies as "Expiermental" When loading into Single Player Worlds you will be met with a warning.
*Please Note this datapack can expose Vanished Admins on Servers with the Look and Mimic Command.
### Survival First This datapack is a Survival First Experience! This is balanced around Survival Play where recipes, commands, and things cost specific currency. Some commands specify what they cost in chat upon attempts. These are ignored for Creative Users & there is a custom `/trigger cs_ArmorStandBox` that gives all base Variants!
## Features: - Recipes for 8+ Posed Armor Stands that include: Attack, Thinking, Look At This, Holding, Zombie, Walking, Cheering, & Sitting Armor Stands! - Recipes for 8 Giant Armor Stands that are giant sized Armor Stands. Requires Logs for the recipes instead of planks or sticks! - Animated Poses spice up Armor Stands without increasing complexity. The Current Animated Poses are: Spin (Clockwise), Reverse Spin (Counter-Clockwise), Look, Mimic, Wave (Left and Right Seperated), And Mine (Left and Right Seperated). - Setting Cosmetics lets you place items on certain slots that would otherwise be disallowed, such as Off Hand, Main Hand, Head, and setting the Armor Stand's Name with a named item. - Movement lets you move the armor stand in any direction you specify via a Dialog - Vast Customization Via Dialogs. - Pose Dialog: Allows you to change the pose of an Armor Stand to mix the top half of Posed Armor Stands with the bottom half of other Posed Armor Stands (I.e. Cheering Sitting Armor Stands) - Move Dialog: Lets you move an Armor Stand in a variety of ways, including teleporting to yourself, moving in a direction, aligning to the center of a block, and the basic any direction supports 1/8th - 1 full block movement. - Customization lets you set existing Armor Stands to not have Gravity, to not or to have arms, or to not or to have a Baseplate. - Other Dialogs just run their trigger commands
### Selecting Selecting can either be done with the /trigger cs_Select Command and right clicking an Armor Stand or an Item Frame, or it can be done automatically by a command. The order selection happens is it selects an Armor Stand you are looking at, up to 16 blocks away (stops at solid blocks), if it doesn't detect one then it goes to the nearest within ~5 blocks. Auto Selected Entities get unselected immediately after the command is ran. Manually selected Entities get unselected when you are 25 blocks away from it.
## Full Command List:
All the commands require "/trigger cs_" to be before the command.
