Keep up the great work, sir, may your development journey be a smooth one!

are you running the command in a command block? if so you might want to make sure command blocks are enabled in your 'server.properties' file.
do you have the 'essentials' plugin? or any other plugin that might replace the /give command? if so you can try putting 'minecraft:' before the command. Like so:

/minecraft:give @p minecraft:spawn_egg 64 93 {CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:diamond_block"],display:{Name:Light_Blue}}

I've been wanting this in the game for a while now, and I think it would be a great addition! Obviously, you can have relative positions when it comes to coordinates for entities, including armor stands, but I think that you should be able to add a relative position when positioning an armor stand with a command, so that you can change an already existent pose, instead of having to make a completely new command to change it. The ~ parameter would still work in this scenario, so it would be easy to use because that's what the symbol for relative coordinates already is.

What I mean is this:

Pose:{LeftArm:[~100f,0f,0f]}

So instead of setting the left arm to be at 100 out of 360, it would add 100 to the position the armor stand is already in. This would allow you to make animated armor stands very easily by having a command block that repeats for a bit to change the armor stands position to something and having it do it slowly, with a factor of like ~2f so that it only moves by 2 every tick, but if you have the command running for a couple seconds, the arm will have moved gradually from it's starting position to the next position in a very smooth fashion. I think this would be a great addition and would allow for a lot more creative freedom in adventure maps or just having fun messing around!

If there is already a way to do something like this, I could not find it anywhere on the internet and have been searching for years and there has never been a simple vanilla solution I could find. I know it seems like a minor change, but I think it would improve a lot of things and map builders would be able to make more engaging and realistic experiences for their players!

Thank you. I actually ended up doing exactly that a few hours later. I'm not too concerned about the multi-player support because it's just me and one other person on the server.

Thanks again.

i think this video by Dragnoz will help you.

I created a 3D online tool which allows people to easily create interactive, animated armorstand structures!

This tool includes an easy-to-use animation timeline with keyframes, interpolation, and easing, as well as allowing you to easily create complex structures with armorstands and rotate blocks on armorstands' heads by their centers.

Just started playing this map for the first time. LOVING it. Using 1.9, not seeing any issues so far. Nether works just fine.

They don't like that it's making pvp harder. Most of the people who are hating on it are young and grew up with games that were easy and forgiving. Minecraft used to just be spam click a zombie and you win. Now, it actually takes some strategy, and most of those kids don't know how to play like that,

You said everything, totally agree.

While I do like the updates thus far and understand that people don't like change, I do think a couple things are being handled poorly with the combat update.

Primarily the lack of attacks on the off-hand (meaning can't keep a sword in the off-hand to fend off monsters that interrupt your mining), the complete removal of defending with the sword to encourage use of shields (as opposed to a simple rebalance), and (one that annoys me most) the inability to use bows from the off-hand, meaning righties are forced to do left-handed archery and vice-versa.

Seriously, it'd be so much easier to switch arrow types on the fly to select them with the main hand and use the bow on the off-hand.

So yeah, it's partially people disliking change, and partially valid complaints.

In the settings you can change what the "Main Hand", meaning you can shoot with a bow in the left hand and the right hand becomes the off-hand.
