Elytra Chestplate Swap

Description

Elytra Chestplate Swap is a simple quality-of-life mod for Minecraft Forge 1.12.2 that brings a modern convenience feature to older versions. With a single right-click, you can instantly swap your equipped chestplate with an elytra you're holding—and vice versa—without opening your inventory.

How It Works (for the user)

  • Hold an elytra in your hand.
  • Right-click while holding it.
  • If you're wearing a chestplate, the elytra equips immediately, and the chestplate is placed directly into your hotbar (in the slot you were holding the elytra).
  • If you're already wearing an elytra and holding a chestplate, right-clicking swaps the chestplate onto your body and moves the elytra to your hotbar.

No inventory opening, no dragging—just a quick right-click to switch between flight mode and protection mode.
