Selecting Your First Armour Stand

Before you can edit an armour stand, it must first be selected. Once selected, all movement, posing, equipment and appearance changes will apply to that armour stand until another one is selected or the current selection is cleared.


Requirements

Before selecting an armour stand, make sure you have:

  • An authenticated Editor Book.
  • An armour stand placed in the world.
  • Permission to use the plugin (if required by your server).

Selecting an Armour Stand

  1. Hold your Editor Book.
  2. Move within interaction range of an armour stand.
  3. Shift + Right-click the armour stand.

The armour stand becomes your active selection and the editor opens automatically.


Changing Your Selection

To edit a different armour stand, simply repeat the selection process on another armour stand.

Only one armour stand can be selected at a time.


Deselecting an Armour Stand

You can clear your current selection by:

  • Using the Deselect button inside the editor.
  • Dropping your Editor Book (if enabled in the plugin configuration).
  • Selecting another armour stand.

If Nothing Happens

If the editor does not open when selecting an armour stand:

  • Make sure you're holding an authenticated Editor Book.
  • Check that you're within selection range.
  • Verify that the plugin has loaded successfully.
  • Confirm you have permission to use the plugin, if your server requires it.

Tips

  • Stand close to the armour stand before selecting it.
  • Only one armour stand can be edited at a time.
  • If you accidentally select the wrong armour stand, simply select the correct one.
