[Feature Request] Mannequins?
As the recent snapshot cycle has added mannequins, I was wondering if an editor for them would be desired?
I know there's no survival method to spawn them, and I feel like a "spawner item" would be out of scope, but editing them feels like a similar use case to Armor Stands.
They feel really limited to be editable and they would heavily benefit from seperate npc/enhancement mod
Right, that's fair -- mainly I would just use them for NPCs for my partner and I's survival world to just liven up the place. We were using armor stands for that, but Mannequins seem nice for those purposes despite being rather limited.
I do think that a lot of ArmorStandEditors functions could apply to the mannequins they do have a surprising amount of options and would benefit from a lot of the existing systems such as armor equips, disabling AI, gravity etc, also the preset poses and player watching. However its probably out of scope for this as it would also apply to other NPC editing: Zombies, Villagers etc. With a lot of functional overlap I may look into making an add-on, otherwise something completely separate that supports mannequins and possibly other mobs for map making.
No promises, hopefully something I can do, will keep posted.
