/armorstand Command Reference

HS Armour Stand Editor uses one primary command with several subcommands for selecting, moving, posing and customising armour stands.

The main command is:

/armorstand

You may also use either of these aliases:

/as
/ase

All examples on this page use /armorstand, but the aliases work in exactly the same way.

Command Access

Normal editing commands can be used when either of the following applies:

• The player has the required permission node.
• The player is holding a valid Editor Book and book permission bypass is enabled in config.yml.

Administrative commands such as creating Editor Books and reloading the configuration always require their dedicated permission nodes.
