Make A Rotating Armour Stand In Minecraft!

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap, and welcome back. Today I’m going to show you how to make an armor stand spin around using a command. It’s really simple, but please note: this tutorial only works on Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

As you can see, this armor stand is spinning around slowly. You can speed it up or slow it down to whatever you like.

What You’ll Need

To set this up, you only need:

• An armor stand
• A name tag (and an anvil to name it)
• A command block

Step 1: Get a Command Block

To get a command block, type:

/give @s command_block

That will give you a command block. Place it down wherever you want.

Step 2: Name Your Armor Stand

Place your armor stand, then use an anvil to name a name tag whatever you want. For this example, I’m going to call it Stand 2 (because I already have another stand over there).

After you name the tag, use it on the armor stand to apply the name. That’s the first part done.

Step 3: Add the Spinning Command

The command is basically a teleport command, with one extra value at the end that creates the spinning effect.

In your command block, type:

tp @e[name=Stand 2] ~ ~ ~ 1

Replace Stand 2 with whatever you named your armor stand. The ~ ~ ~ means it teleports to its current position (so it stays in place), and the last number controls how fast it rotates.

Now set the command block to:

Repeat
Always Active

Once you do that, the armor stand will start rotating.

Adjusting the Spin Speed

The last number in the command controls the rotation speed.

For example:

tp @e[name=Stand 2] ~ ~ ~ 1 — spins slowly
tp @e[name=Stand 2] ~ ~ ~ 5 — spins fast (and may look a bit glitchy)

You can set this to whatever speed you like.

Making the Armor Stand Sit Correctly on a Block

If you want the armor stand to appear neatly on top of a block, you may need to adjust the Y position slightly, because armor stands don’t always sit perfectly at whole-number heights.

For example, you can use:

tp @e[name=Stand 2] ~ ~0.5 ~ 1

That little 0.5 bump helps the stand sit properly on the block underneath.

Optional: Stop Command Spam in Chat

You might see a bunch of command messages appearing in your chat. To stop command block output, type:

/gamerule commandBlockOutput false

This stops the command block messages from showing up, while everything still keeps working normally.

Final Notes

At this point, the armor stand behaves like a normal armor stand—you can put armor or anything you like on it, and it will keep spinning using the command.
