Inventory Armor Swap

by wildbeast42

Inventory Armor Swap lets a player shift-click an armor piece in the inventory to exchange it with the armor currently worn.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only1.21.5 – 1.21.11

What it does

Shift-clicking a helmet, chestplate, leggings or boots in the inventory swaps it with the matching piece already equipped, and the same works for other wearable items. The change applies only on the client, so the server needs nothing installed. Builds cover 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is not open source. It requires Fabric API, Mod Menu, SettingsManagerLib and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL).

Key features

  1. Shift-click armor swap

    Shift-clicking an armor piece in the inventory exchanges it with the equipped piece of the same slot.

  2. Other wearable items

    Items that can be worn in the armor slots, such as items other than standard armor, are swapped the same way.

  3. Armor-only option

    A Mod Menu setting limits swapping to armor pieces, so player mob heads are ignored.

How it compares

Full comparison

Hotbar Swap is client-side only and covers 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, moving items between the hotbar and the inventory rather than onto armor slots. Armor Swapper is also client-side only, under a custom license, and covers 1.20 – 1.21.10, so it reaches older builds than this mod.

Questions

Does Inventory Armor Swap need Mod Menu?

Yes. Mod Menu is required, and it hosts the setting that limits swapping to armor pieces only.

Does the server need Inventory Armor Swap?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.
