ElytraTweaks
by Floris0601
ElytraTweaks changes how elytra flight is handled, adding automatic elytra and armor swapping, a hotkey to stop flying, and water entry while gliding.
What it does
The mod adds some room to elytra flight. Collection tweaks assist with elytra flight, and the mod can swap a worn elytra automatically when the player tries to glide, or swap armor when the player lands. Automatic armor swapping picks the armor with the highest armor value and prefers enchanted pieces when several have the same value, while a set of chosen enchantments can be checked as a selection rule. Enchanted elytra are chosen by the preferred enchantments, then by the one with the least remaining durability.
A hotkey stops flight at any moment, and the player can enter water while still gliding and start swimming at once, without stopping the glide first. The mod runs on the client alone and needs Fabric API, which must be installed next to it on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, with 1.1+1.21.5 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Automatic elytra swapping
When the player tries to glide, the mod can equip an elytra from the inventory without manual steps.
Automatic armor swapping
On landing, armor is swapped to the piece with the highest armor value, with enchanted pieces preferred among equals.
Enchantment-based selection
Armor and elytra can be chosen by specific enchantments, and the elytra with the least remaining durability is picked among matches.
Hotkey to stop flying
A key binding ends elytra flight at any moment, so the player is not forced to wait for a landing.
Water entry while gliding
Flying onto water starts swimming immediately, without a separate step to stop gliding first.
