Elytra/Chestplate Swapper
by Saphjyr
Elytra/Chestplate Swapper lets a player switch between a chestplate and an elytra with a single keystroke, inside the inventory or outside it.
What it does
The mod swaps the chestplate slot with the elytra on a keypress. The default key is the grave accent, shown as the superscript two on AZERTY layouts, and the binding can be changed in the game options. The key works both in the inventory and while playing outside it.
Players on Fabric need Fabric API. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3. Players need the mod on their client, while a server can run without it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features

One keypress exchanges the worn chestplate for the elytra, and pressing it again returns the chestplate.

The trigger uses the grave accent by default and can be rebound in the controls settings.
