Smart Elytra lets you swap between flight and armor with a single keypress (G). Featuring a server-safe 3-tick sync method (switch > equip > return), it ensures reliable performance and bypasses anti-cheat issues on multiplayer servers.
About this Mod
🦅 Smart Elytra (Hotbar-Sync)
Smart Elytra is a specialized utility mod for Fabric 1.21, engineered for maximum reliability on multiplayer servers. Forget fumbling through your inventory or wasting precious hotbar time—swap between flight and combat readiness with a single, intelligent keypress.
✨ Key Features
⚡ 3-Tick Hotbar Logic:
To prevent Anti-Cheat flags and "ghost items," the mod executes the swap in three precise steps:
Tick 1: Switches to the item's hotbar slot.
Tick 2: Equips the item via right-click simulation.
Tick 3: Instantly returns to your original selected slot.
🛡️ Best-Armor Detection:
Automatically scans your hotbar for the strongest chestplate (Netherite > Diamond > Iron, etc.) when swapping out of your Elytra.
🌐 Server-Optimized:
Built to handle latency and lag. By spreading actions across game ticks, it mimics natural player behavior, making it safe for most PvP and survival servers.
⌨️ Fully Bindable:
The default key is 'G', which can be changed anytime in the Minecraft controls menu under the 'Misc' category.
🎮 How to Use
Place your Elytra or your Chestplate into any slot of your Hotbar.
Press G (default) to trigger the swap.
The mod handles the rotation and equipping in a fraction of a second.
