Overview
Armor Shift eliminates the necessity of manual inventory management in the heat of action. Designed for players who demand technical efficiency and agility, the mod allows for gear transitions without ever closing the game screen or interrupting movement.
As a purely client-side modification, this mod focuses on versatility, allowing it to be used in any multiplayer environment or SMP without requiring plugins or server-side installations.
