ElySwap
by MeqxsDev
ElySwap lets players swap the chestplate slot with an elytra, and back, using a key bind.
What it does
Pressing the bound key exchanges whatever sits in the chestplate slot with the elytra, in either direction, in a single action. Players can change the control in the game settings so the swap sits on a key they prefer. The mod is a Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, released under the MIT License and open source, with its source code public. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.
Key features
One-click chestplate swap
A single press exchanges the chestplate and the elytra, with no menu or inventory screen involved.
Swap in both directions
The same key moves an elytra into the chestplate slot and returns a chestplate to its place.
Configurable key bind
The swap control can be remapped in the controls settings to any key the player chooses.
