Greetings good people of CFUK. I bring you an innovation to help protect your precious armour on armour stands.

It is well known that this server uses block-log to aid in investigating any griefing that players report, but a long known issue has been that it is harder to detect when armour is stolen off armour stands, since the armour stands are technically entities and not blocks. Pictured below is a method which can help protect your ornamental armour stands and reduce the chances somebody could get away with stealing your precious armour. Some of you may already be familiar with this method.

In a nutshell, the solution is to encase your armour stand in a glass display. I encourage everyone to consider this, as it takes no extra room and is very easy to set up. In a situation where somebody wants to grief by stealing your armour, they *will* need to break the glass in order to access your armour, and this will thankfully be logged into the block-log system, preventing them from getting away with it!

So how do you encase your armour? You build up a tower of 4 blocks beside it, you place a piston above your armour stand, a lever next to it, and a glass block below the piston. You activate the lever once, then move the piston back by flipping the lever back, place another glass block in the gap, and activate the lever once more. Done!
