So i was thinking, on my 5th or so world, that my houses wind up looking really similar and in no way reflect how much ive done in terms of mining/exploring. My solution is to add armor stands, built from 1 wool(head), 1 stick(body), and 1 planks block(base) aranged vertically on a crafting table. these placable 1x1x2 structures would be right clickable to bring up an equipment menu similar to the armor spaces in your inventory, where you can place armor pieces not in use, to not only spice up the decor in your house a little, but act as an indicator of how successfully you are exploring your world(also might scare you on those long nights when your tired and think theres a creeper behind you). A similar object to the armor stand i would also include is a display case. a 1x2x1 structure made from simply a glass block on top of a planks block in your crafting menu, this right clickable structure would allow you to place any manner of hand held tools(picks, axes, swords, etc...)accomplishing the same basic principle of the armor stand.
I feel that these items would would help refresh the interior of one's house, encourage exploration, and even cause players to add additional rooms to their houses specifically to house their armor and weapons.
There's a mod like this and it has been suggested already.
Use the search function, Luke.

NO. Don't click New Thread. Read the rules. I don't give a damn how long or boring they are. If you do not, you will be subject to massive flaming and criticism by yours truly.
what i think he's getting at for the armor stand would be a block/entity that, when you put your armor into the slots it has, equips the armor and looks as if a player were wearing it. The display case idea, is iffy, but in my opinion, the armor stands are a sound idea.
Just imagine: reskin your armor stand to look like a creeper, then give it armor.

i won't be responding very often until the "view your posts" function is back up.

Not an especially interesting one, from what I seen, and the suggestions forum is for ideas that players want to see in vanilla, not mods.
To the OP, put your ideas and support over here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/152631-display-cases/
So far, that's the best display cases suggestion I've seen.
