Auto Elytra
by Anti-Vision
Auto Elytra is a Fabric client mod that equips an Elytra automatically when a player double-jumps in the air, so gliding can start without manual swapping.
What it does
When the player double-jumps and no Elytra is worn, the mod puts one on the chestplate slot, letting the glide begin straight away. Automatic swapping then returns the original chestplate once the player touches the ground, so the armor is not lost. The double-jump trigger works from the air, and the feature fits flight in open terrain.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a player can use it on a single-player world or a server that does not install it. Some servers consider automated equipment swapping unfair or cheating, so players should check a server's rules before using it there. Auto Elytra requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across 40 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3, under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
Key features
Automatic elytra equip
A double-jump in the air puts an Elytra on the chestplate slot without any manual inventory action.
Auto return of chestplate
After landing, the original chestplate is placed back in the chestplate slot automatically.
Sunset glide trigger
Double-jumping during the evening can start a glide, so a flight can begin at sunset.
Optional swap control
The automatic swapping can be used alongside the double-jump, with the swap following the player's jump input.

Use cases
Open-world flight
Players flying across large maps can start gliding quickly without stopping to change armor.
Single-player play
In a single-player world the mod needs no server support, so the swap works on the player's own client.
Who it’s for: Players who fly often on Fabric and want the elytra swap done automatically. Server owners who prohibit swapping tools should leave the mod out of their rules.
How it compares
NCControlUtils is a Fabric client mod for 26.1 – 26.3, released under the MIT License and open source, with a broader set of utilities than swapping alone. Elytra Auto Equip is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, under the MIT License and not open source. Armored Elytra is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.3 that is server required, with the client optional, so it differs in where it must be installed.
