How To Make A Rotating Armour Stand In Minecraft (Bedrock Edition)

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap and welcome back to another post! Today I’m going to be showing you how to make an armour stand that spins around using a command. It’s really simple, and I’m going to walk you through every step. Please note that this tutorial only works on Bedrock Edition.

What You’ll Need

Before we get started, there are just a few things you’ll need to have on hand. You’ll need an armour stand, a name tag, and a command block. To get a command block, simply type /give @s command_block into the chat. The @s refers to yourself, so it will give the command block directly to you. Once you have all three of these items, you’re ready to get started!

Step 1: Naming Your Armour Stand

The first thing you’ll want to do is place down your armour stand. After that, head to an anvil and use your name tag to give your armour stand a name — you can call it whatever you like! For this tutorial, I’m going to name mine stand2. Once you’ve named the name tag at the anvil, simply right-click on your armour stand to apply the name. That’s step one done — nice and easy!

Step 2: Setting Up The Command Block

Now for the fun part — the command! Place down your command block and open it up. The command we’re using is essentially a teleport command with a little something extra added on the end to create that spinning effect. Type in the following command:

tp @e[name=stand2] [X] [Y] [Z] [rotation]

Replace [X], [Y], and [Z] with the coordinates where you’d like your armour stand to sit. If you don’t have a specific location in mind, you can simply use relative coordinates. After entering your coordinates, you’ll want to add a third rotation value at the end of the command — this is what simulates the spinning motion! Setting this value to 1 will make the armour stand spin quite slowly, while setting it to something like 5 will make it spin much faster, though it may start to look a little glitchy at higher speeds.

Once you’ve entered your command, make sure to set the command block to Repeat and Always Active. This ensures the armour stand constantly teleports to the set location and keeps spinning without falling or drifting away.

Placing The Armour Stand On Top Of A Block

If you’d like your armour stand to sit neatly on top of a block, simply place a block underneath it and adjust the Y coordinate in your command. Because the armour stand is slightly taller than two blocks, I recommend setting the Y value to about 0.5 above the block’s surface to make sure it sits perfectly on top. Once you’ve done that, it should look great!

Customising Your Armour Stand

The great thing about this setup is that it acts just like a normal armour stand — you can put any armour or items on it that you like, and it will continue to spin with whatever you’ve placed on it. Feel free to get creative and dress it up however you want!

Hiding Command Block Output

You may notice a lot of command outputs appearing on your screen while the command block is running. Thankfully, there’s a very simple fix for this! Just type /gamerule commandBlockOutput false into the chat. This will stop the command block output from showing up in your console, keeping things clean and tidy while everything continues to work perfectly.

Final Thoughts

And that’s it — you now have a beautifully spinning armour stand in Minecraft Bedrock Edition! It’s a really fun and simple command that can add a great decorative touch to any build.
