Minecraft ArmorStand Teleportation

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

So I'm using SethBling's armorstand posing help and I'm trying to teleport an invisible stand to an already set stand but I'm having troubles understanding how the teleports work. I know the commands but I don't know how to control which way the stand will move, can anyone help?

The easiest way to move one entity to another is this syntax of /tp:

/tp <Target Selector> <Destination Selector>

This teleports the target entity/entities to the destination entity/entities.

For example, for your situation, to teleport the ArmorStand within 1 block of you to an ArmorStand at least 1 block away from you:

/tp @e[type=ArmorStand,r=1] @e[type=ArmorStand,rm=1]

You can also use /tp with either absolute or relative coordinates, like this:

/tp <Target Selector> <x> <y> <z>

For example, to teleport the nearest ArmorStand to x=0, y=64, z=10 you could do:

/tp @e[type=ArmorStand,c=1] 0 64 10

Or to teleport an ArmorStand called "Decoration" up 2 blocks and to the north one block, you could do:

/tp @e[type=ArmorStand,name=Decoration] ~ ~2 ~-1 

Note that a ~ before a number means the coordinate is relative to the entity's current position. e.i. moving 2 blocks upwards rather than to the absolute value of y=2.


Selecting and moving entities around is fairly easy, but requires some basic knowledge of different command parts. You could use these wiki links to learn more about:
