AutoArmorMod
by thezoomrs
AutoArmorMod equips a player with the strongest armor from the inventory and swaps in replacements when a worn piece breaks, on Fabric for 1.21.8.
What it does
Once installed, the mod picks armor from the player's inventory by its Protection enchantment and fills the armor slots with the strongest pieces it finds. Fire Protection and Blast Protection are also taken into account when the mod ranks armor. When a worn piece breaks or wears out, the mod puts a replacement into the slot without a manual swap, which keeps the character covered during long fights or trips.
The mod is controlled through the zauto command, so the feature can be turned on or off in play. It is designed for single-player worlds, and its files are client-side only, so a server does not need to run it. Multiplayer clients can use it, and the author notes that it works in multiplayer. Files target 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code is public. Builds exist for 1.21.4 and 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.0+mc1.21.8 for 1.21.8, published on 2026-04-21.

Armor is ranked by the Protection enchantment, with Fire Protection and Blast Protection also considered.

A broken or worn-out piece is replaced by another suitable armor piece from the inventory.
Control with a command

Who it’s for: Players who want armor managed automatically in single-player or multiplayer worlds, and who prefer to spend their attention on exploring and building.
