Finding and creating:
In the archaeological sites, inside gravel and dirt, you would be able to find pieces of old ancient statues. There would be four types of pieces: leg, arm, torso and head. These pieces would be used to create statues. There are two options how it could work:
1. You would place two legs on one block. Then you would place the torso on the legs. And then two arms and head on the torso.
2. You would put them on armor stands
What would they look like:
The statues would have a shape of Steve or Alex model, but they would have a texture of some stone or material. It would be amazing if they added marble, but the statues could also be just made out of diorite, andesite, granite or sandstone or very rarely gold or even diamond. In the nether you could find quartz or blackstone pieces of statues inside soulsand.
Random angles - poses:
To make every piece and statue unique, every piece, you find, would have it's own fixed angle. I don't know how to describe it because of my bad english. When you place an arm, some would look like the statue is waving, another would hang along the torso. Some legs would look like the statue is walking some would look like it's standing, some heads would look down, some would look in the left...
Why statues?
I have always wished to have some decorations in my builds, that look like a statue and aren't bigger than two blocks. I tried using armor stands, but they don't look that good, they just look like sticks with clothes and a monster head. Now when we are going to have archeology that will allow us to make custom ancient pots, I think it's a great opportunity to add custom ancient statues. I think statues would be a great decoration for most of buildings that players create. I can imagine seeing quartz statues in ancient temples, granite statues in dark dungeons, blackstone statue pointing a direction in the middle of a forest, sandstone statue on a pillar, gold statues in churches or someone flexing with his full diamond statue. I think this would make the archaeology really popular!
This would be cool, but they should make it so the statue isn't considered an entity like an armor stand, or else hitting it will break it. Mining it should still break it though.
