Elytra Swap
by Roundaround
Elytra Swap lets a player right-click to swap the equipped elytra with the chestplate, a feature added in 1.19.4 and backported to earlier versions.
What it does
Right-clicking swaps an equipped elytra with the armor the player already wears, so the glider and the chestplate change places without opening the inventory. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Its files target 1.18.2 – 1.19.3 on Fabric and Quilt, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Right-click armor swap
Right-clicking with an elytra in hand exchanges it with the armor currently worn in the chest slot.
Inventory-free switching
The swap happens in place, so a player changes between flight and combat gear without opening the inventory.
Chest slot exchange
Whatever chestplate the player wears moves into the slot the elytra leaves, and the reverse happens on the next swap.

What the author says
Brings 1.19.4 elytra/armor swapping to earlier versions. Just as you would do in 1.19.4 and beyond, simply "use" the armor or elytra (right click) to swap it with what you already have equipped! Since this is backporting a 1.19.4 feature, this will obviously not receive updates for versions 1.19.4 and on.
