Elytra Totem Swapper
by tech.anupam
Elytra Totem Swapper adds hotkeys that equip a Totem of Undying in the offhand, swap an Elytra in or out of the chestplate slot, and toggle between chestplate and Elytra.
What it does
Each action runs from a custom key bound in the in-game controls menu. Totem equipping has a default key of X, and Elytra swapping has a default key of G, so a player can change gear in the middle of a fight without opening the inventory. The chestplate toggle moves between a chestplate for protection and an Elytra for flight, and the mod is also described by its author as a Crystal PvP aid for combat practice.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.20.4, with builds for ten release versions in that range. Only the player's client needs it, so servers do not have to install anything. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public, but the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases
Crystal PvP practice
Players who fight with end crystals can keep a Totem ready in the offhand and switch gear without pausing to open the inventory.
Quick flight changes
A player can take an Elytra on for travel and put a chestplate back on for combat using a single key.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to change offhand and chest gear quickly during play. Servers do not need the mod, since it runs on the client only.
