An armor stand is a block added by Mojang in the Java Edition of Minecraft in version 1.8 and in the Bedrock Edition in version 0.16.0. It can hold and display a full set of armor, an elytra, a pumpkin, a mob head, or a player head. They are also used to create custom scarecrows, statues, or other decorative objects.
To craft an armor stand, you will need three sticks and one stone slab. The sticks are placed in a vertical line in the center of the crafting grid, and the stone slab is placed in the bottom-center slot.
