Quick Armor Swap
by Vilno
Quick Armor Swap lets players trade a worn armor piece for the one in their hand with a single right-click, without dragging items through the inventory.
What it does
Right-clicking an armor piece in the inventory equips it at once, and the piece already worn returns to the cursor or inventory. Shift with a right-click on an armor stand swaps the whole outfit with the player's own. Holding an armor piece on the cursor and opening the inventory with E also works, so a player no longer has to drag each piece into its slot.
The mod is built around vanilla click handling: it simulates the normal clicks rather than changing item data, and it is described as safe on most servers, though players should still check each server's rules. Features such as the swap sounds, the item blacklist and individual toggles can be adjusted in its configuration. Compatibility with other mods rests on the standard armor tags that Ice and Fire, The Twilight Forest and Create use.
Installation depends on the loader: the mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.2 only. Quick Armor Swap runs on the client or the server, and either side can use it on its own, so vanilla servers accept it when the server side is installed. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
