SwitchUtils

by yfc

SwitchUtils lets a player swap between saved armor sets with a keybind, so changing gear for a fight or a task takes one key press.

What it does

A player places armor pieces (helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots) into slots on the hotbar, and each set can then be switched to by pressing the Switch Key. The mod equips the pieces of the chosen set automatically, one after another, and the pause between pieces can be adjusted in its settings.

SwitchUtils runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it and servers do not. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.20.1 released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Armor sets on the hotbar

    Armor pieces are placed into hotbar slots, forming a set that can be recalled at any time.

  2. Keybind switching

    Pressing the Switch Key starts the equip sequence for the chosen armor set.

  3. Shuffled equip sequence

    Pieces go on in a shuffled sequence, with short adjustable pauses between each one.

  4. Configurable delays

    The pause between equipping pieces can be adjusted to suit the player's preference.

Use cases

Combat gear changes

A player can keep a heavy set and a light set ready and swap between them mid-fight with a single key press.

Cosmetic outfits

Players who want to change how their character looks can save several complete outfits and switch between them.

Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft 1.20.1 who want quick access to different armor sets and do not mind a client-side utility. Servers do not need to install anything.

Questions

Does SwitchUtils need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside SwitchUtils on Fabric 1.20.1.

Do servers need SwitchUtils installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a server can run without it and players join without any extra mod on the server.

Can SwitchUtils be used on other Minecraft versions?

The only published build targets 1.20.1, so it is not available for other game versions at this time.

Is the configuration tied to Mod Menu?

Mod Menu is an optional dependency and can be used to open the mod's settings, but the mod does not require it to work.
