Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Armor Stand Summon Generator

  1. Type armor stand into the search box (or leave the default – this page opens straight to the Armor Stand panel).
  2. Check Small for a miniature armor stand (roughly half height) – useful for “child” display figures.
  3. Check No Base Plate to remove the flat plate at its feet, so it looks like it’s floating or standing directly on the ground.
  4. Check Marker to spawn a hitbox-less, unclickable armor stand meant purely as an invisible NBT/positioning anchor for map-making or display setups – see the FAQ before using this.
  5. Check Show Arms to give it visible arms (off by default, matching the plain crafted armor stand which has no arms).
  6. Check Invisible to hide the stand’s model entirely while keeping anything equipped on it (armor, held items) visible.
  7. Copy the generated /summon command and paste it into a command block, the server console, or an operator’s chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

The base command is /summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This tool fills in the {NBT} portion for you:

  • Small:1b – shrinks the stand to the small variant, with a proportionally smaller hitbox and equipment.
  • NoBasePlate:1b – removes the base plate model and its collision, so the stand has no visible feet platform.
  • Marker:1b – makes the stand invisible-hitbox and non-interactable: it can no longer be right-clicked to swap equipment, punched, or pushed, and it stops taking up collision space. It’s typically combined with Invisible:1b and used as an invisible marker/anchor rather than a display figure – check this box carefully, since it also blocks the normal “right-click to equip gear” workflow this generator’s other options are meant to support.
  • ShowArms:1b – gives the stand visible arms; without this tag it spawns armless, matching the vanilla crafted default.
  • Invisible:1b – hides the stand’s own body model. Anything equipped on it (helmet, armor, held items in later versions) still renders normally, so an invisible stand wearing a helmet looks like a floating helmet.

This generator doesn’t expose pose fields (arm/leg/head rotation) or equipment slots directly – for those, right-click the summoned stand in-game (if it isn’t a Marker) or use the general Summon Command tab for raw Pose and equipment NBT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still equip armor on this stand after summoning it?

Yes, as long as you leave Marker unchecked. A normal (non-marker) armor stand can be right-clicked with armor pieces or items to equip them, exactly like one placed from the crafted item. Checking Marker removes that interactivity along with its hitbox.

What’s the actual difference between Invisible and Marker?

Invisible only hides the model – the stand still has a hitbox, can be punched or right-clicked, and takes fall/knockback physics normally. Marker removes the hitbox and all interaction (no right-click equipping, no punching) regardless of whether Invisible is also set. They’re independent tags and are commonly combined (invisible + marker) for a fully passive, hidden anchor point.

Does the Small toggle also shrink any armor I put on it?

Yes. A small armor stand renders equipped armor and held items at a matching smaller scale, which is the usual way people build “child” or miniature display figures.

Is an armor stand affected by gravity or can it be knocked over?

A normal armor stand takes knockback from an attack and can be destroyed by hitting it, but this generator doesn’t add a field for that – none of its options (Small, No Base Plate, Marker, Show Arms, Invisible) change durability or physics. Use No AI in the shared fields above if you want it to ignore some interactions, though a Marker stand already ignores hits entirely.
