NPC Mannequins in Survival (NMIS for short) is my debut Paper plugin that allows for you to use the new mannequin mobs introduced in Java 1. 21. 9 in survival mode as decoration (similar to armor stands):

Mannequins are spawned in via a craftable item called a Mannequin Soul. To make a basic Soul, all that needs to be done is put a piece of paper named "Mannequin Starter" (or simply "ms") in the crafting grid:

To spawn this mannequin, place the crafted soul on the ground. Crouching whilst placing the mannequin soul will copy the pitch that you are looking in.
## Ingredient Modifiers You may also add extra ingredients to the crafted Mannequin Soul: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/c7dc20e87363ce6776e9436c649ea5fbf3308c54.png)
The current ingredients that you can add are as follows: - Name tag: Applies the skin of a Minecraft Java Edition username based what the name tag was renamed to. The skin on the mannequin will stay the same even if the person with the Minecraft account changes the skin. - Netherite scrap: Sets the maximum HP of the mannequin to 50 hearts - Anvil: Prevents the mannequin from moving and falling. Can be applied post-mannequin-creation to anchor mannequins after the fact.
## Equipment Mannequins may be equiped with armor and hold items. Right click to open the mannequin inventory:

## Rename Your Mannequin You can use a name tag on a mannequin like a normal mob: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/580a1b24ec480d41c15bac458bd1e8f5d42d9393.png)
## Poses Right click with a feather in your hand to "tickle" the mannequin into a new pose:
