Previous Versions

MC 1.8 Version

The MC 1.8 Version to add arms to an armour stand, 2 sticks would be thrown at the armour stand. The sticks would disappear and the armour stand would gain arms. Throwing a pair of shears at an armour stand would cause it to become small. The shears will not be consumed or damaged. The book and quill feature was not in this version.

Hermitcraft Version

In the Hermitcraft version, modified armour stands had to be crafted with a custom crafter.
