NCControlUtils
by Nullcoil
NCControlUtils handles elytra and chestplate swapping for players who switch between gliding and armor.
What it does
The mod automatically swaps the chestplate for an elytra when a player takes off, and remembers the last chestplate worn so it can be equipped again after landing. When choosing an elytra from the inventory, it favors the one with the highest durability. Elytras cursed with Binding are also equipped without being blocked. Gliding can be ended by tapping the Jump key again. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, covering game versions 26.1 – 26.3.
Installation needs only Fabric. The 1.1.0 file for 26.3 is the latest build, dated 2026-10-09. Players who switch often between gliding and armor get both pieces handled without manual swapping.
