Mannequins are mob-like entities that resemble a player's avatar without having a connected player.

Spawning

Mannequins can only be spawned with commands such as /summon. They do not spawn naturally or have an associated spawn egg.

Drops

On death

Mannequins do not drop any items or experience upon death.

Behavior

Mannequins function like a player avatar, even if the player is not connected. They can hold items in their hands, wear armor, take damage, and have attributes and effects. Unlike players, they cannot pick up items, though they can have items placed into their hands or armor slots with commands. Armor can also be equipped on them via dispenser.

Vindicators named "Johnny" will attack mannequins, but other hostile mobs will not.

Models will match those of players, with the specific exception of deadmau5, whose ears will not render.[1]

Although player avatars do, mannequins will not take damage when outside the world border.
