ElytraFlow
by Sovex66
ElytraFlow swaps a chestplate back on after a flight, so a player who lands with elytra equipped gets their armor without opening the inventory.
What it does
When the player touches the ground with elytra equipped, ElytraFlow searches the hotbar, main inventory and offhand for a chestplate. If several are present, it picks the highest-tier one, and chestplates with Curse of Binding are skipped. If none is found, nothing changes. A small on-screen message reports when the mod is enabled or disabled, and its toggle is listed under Options, Controls, ElytraFlow.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players can use it on multiplayer servers without asking server owners to install anything. Installation requires Fabric API. ElytraFlow is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 26.1 – 26.3, with 1.3.0 as the latest file for 26.3.
Key features
Automatic chestplate swap
Equips a chestplate from the inventory after landing, saving a manual armor swap after each flight.
Tier-based selection
With several chestplates available, the highest-tier one is chosen, while Curse of Binding items are ignored.
On-screen toggle message
A brief message shows whether the mod is currently enabled or disabled.
Keybind settings
The enable toggle is found under Options, Controls, ElytraFlow, so it can be rebound to another key.

Use cases
Long flights
Players who travel by elytra between distant points can land and return to combat or building armor without stopping to change equipment.
Multiplayer play
Because only the client runs the mod, a player can use it on a server whose owner has not installed anything.
Who it’s for: Players who fly with elytra often and want their chestplate restored on landing. Server owners need nothing, since the mod stays on the client.

What the author says
ElytraFlow automatically equips a chestplate when you land while wearing an elytra. It saves you from having to open your inventory and swap your armor manually after every flight.
