AutoUnArmorX
by LilPeep
AutoUnArmorX is a Fabric storage utility that unequips armor pieces before they break, so worn gear is kept in the inventory instead of vanishing.
What it does
When an armor piece gets close to breaking, the client removes it from the armor slot and places it in the inventory. The check runs on the client, so the piece is kept safe without any change on the server side. A piece re-equipped by hand with low durability is left alone until it is repaired, so the mod does not keep stripping it.
The mod is aimed at survival play where armor matters, including hardcore worlds and PvP, and it works in vanilla and modded multiplayer alike. Its client-side design means it works on servers that do not run any extra mods. It is light and optimized to run smoothly even when a lot of packets are arriving.
Installation needs only Fabric. Version 1.0.0 is the latest Fabric file, published on 2025-10-27 for 1.21.10, and the mod is covered by game versions 1.21.9 – 1.21.10. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Automatic unequip
Armor pieces are removed from the armor slots just before they break and moved into the inventory.
Durability threshold
Removal happens when durability drops to a set low value, and the mod keeps a piece from being unequipped again until it is repaired.
Client-side operation
The unequip logic runs only on the player's client, so servers need no mod and no extra permissions.
Configurable settings
Options are presented through YetAnotherConfigLib, with planned settings such as durability thresholds and toggles.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Hardcore and PvP play
Players who cannot afford to lose a favorite armor set in a long survival run or a PvP fight can keep it from breaking.
Who it’s for: Players on survival, hardcore or PvP servers who want armor kept in the inventory rather than lost when it breaks.
How it compares
Armor Watch is a Fabric option for 1.21.10, licensed under Apache License 2.0 and client-side only. ArmorSafe is a Fabric option for 1.21.11, client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it is the closest match in licensing. Simple Armor HUD is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it shows armor status rather than unequipping pieces.
