Auto Unequip Armor
Auto Unequip Armor is a Fabric client mod that moves the Totem of Undying out of the armor slot and into the inventory right after a player respawns.
What it does
After a respawn triggered by a Totem of Undying, the mod takes the totem from its armor position and places it in a free inventory slot, so the armor slot is freed without manual clicking. Free slots are found automatically, and if the inventory is full, items that can be dropped safely are placed on the ground instead of being lost.
The delay before the unequip happens can be set in the config file, so it can be tuned to match how quickly a player wants the change to occur. The mod changes nothing on the server side, and it needs Fabric API to run. The files are published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.8, and the author holds All rights reserved over the mod.
Key features
Automatic unequip
The totem leaves the armor slot shortly after a respawn, without any extra keypresses from the player.
Configurable delay
A custom delay before unequipping can be set in the config file, measured from the moment of respawn.
Inventory slot search
The mod looks for a free inventory slot on its own and places the totem there.
Safe item dropping
When no inventory slot is free, items that can be dropped safely are placed on the ground rather than lost.

Use cases
Quick re-equip after a respawn
A player who uses a second totem can keep the armor slot clear after dying, so the next totem can be equipped at once.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.8 who use Totems of Undying regularly and want the totem moved out of the armor slot after each respawn without doing it by hand.
