ArmorSwap
by avdeyaman
ArmorSwap lets a player swap the worn armor set for a better one from the inventory with a single key press.
What it does
The mod watches the armor in the inventory and, when triggered, selects the strongest available set and equips it in place of the current pieces. The key that starts a swap is configurable, and its default binding can be changed in the controls menu. A sound plays when a swap succeeds, so the change is noticed without looking at the inventory.
The mod is aimed at situations where armor needs to change quickly, such as combat in PvP or mining when a threat appears. It supports modded armor alongside vanilla armor, so sets from other mods are included in the selection. It is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it requires Forge 47.4.4 or newer. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. The code is under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.

Mining under threat
When a hostile mob appears in a cave, a quick swap to protective armor takes one key press.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.20.1 who carry several armor sets and want to change between them during play. Only the player's own client needs the mod, so it can be added to a server without any installation on the server.
