Mannequins are mob-like entities that resemble a player's avatar without having a connected player.
Spawning
Mannequins can only be spawned with /summon or /execute 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.
Withers, zoglins, wardens, and 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. Mojang have confirmed that this is not something they consider an issue.[1]
