I don't want to pee in anyone's cornflakes. (That is an expression we used in the Army to warn someone that you were about to pee in their cornflakes.)

But an armor stand is very inefficient in terms of space required. In the space occupied by two armor stands, I could build a tiered rack of three chests. Two armor stands, two four piece sets of armor. Three chests, seven four piece sets of armor with two inventory slots left over.

Sure an armor stand looks cool. In 1969, my college roommate could have bought a Plymouth Roadrunner. It looked really cool with the fake hood scoop, the fancy racing stripe, and the cartoon Roadrunner decal. Instead he bought a Plymouth Sport Satellite. Same car, same engine, same drive train but without all the cool cosmetics. His auto insurance was half of what he would have paid if he bought the Roadrunner.

Some will argue that including an armor stand represents a diversion of resources better spent on fleshing out the remaining biomes. Again, I don't want to pee in anyone's cornflakes but I think that is incorrect. Too many cooks can spoil the broth. Having one of them baking bread sticks can make the meal.
