Features
To modify an armour stand, write one or certain combinations of the codes in a book and quill, and throw it at the armour stand's feet. This expansion pack allows players to modify the position of the arms, legs, head, body and rotation of an armour stand, and make copies of armour stands.
Codes
Use the following codes, each word on a different page, for the corresponding effect.
Codes can be combined to perform multiple actions at the same time, where the pages with code can be in any order
From Player Rotation
Each part of the armour stand can be set to any pose depending on where the player is facing. Use one of the codes below while all other pages in the written book are empty. Stand inside the armour stand, throw the written book with one of the codes on the ground, and quickly face the direction you want this part to be rotated as.

Copy
Armour Stands with custom poses can have their data stored in armour stand items by throwing a book with `copy` and armour stand items at this armour stand. This will copy its pose, base plate and size to the item and some particles will be displayed to indicate that it has been copied successfully. Placing this item will create an armour stand with the same pose as the original one.
| Code | Additional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| copy | Armour Stand items on the ground | Copy pose, base plate and size information onto the armour stand items |
