Better Armor Swap

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.19.4–1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.19.4–1.20.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Description

Minecraft 1.19.4 added the ability to swap armor / elytra in hotbar, why don't we backport this nice feature to older versions and make it even better?

Using this mod, you can not only swap the armor in your hotbar, but also swap them in your inventory by shift right-clicking.

The hotbar swap is only for version below 1.19.4 since it is a official feature after that version, but the inventory swap work for 1.19.4+ as well!
