An armor stand is a block in Minecraft that can be used to display armor. It is crafted from six iron ingots and one stick, and can be placed on any solid surface. When armor is placed on an armor stand, it will take on the pose of the stand. This can be used to create custom poses for armor, or to simply display armor in a more visually appealing way.
Armor stands are also useful for storing armor. When armor is placed on an armor stand, it will not take damage from the environment. This can be useful for storing valuable armor that you do not want to risk losing. Additionally, armor stands can be used to organize your armor collection, making it easier to find the armor you need.
