Fake Chestplate

Fake Chestplate is a lightweight, fully client-side Fabric mod that lets you customize your equipped chestplate visually or practice simulated Elytra flight locally with complete server isolation.

Features

• Visual Armor Customization: Change your chestplate appearance to Leather, Chainmail, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Netherite strictly on your client.
• Enchantment Visuals: Optional enchantment glint and clean, non-italic Unbreaking III and Mending tooltip visuals.
• Simulated Elytra Flight: Turn on Fake Mode without selecting an armor piece to equip a client-side Elytra and fly freely.
• Server Isolation (Safe Test Flight): While flying in Fake Mode, movement packets are paused client-side. The server only sees you standing safely at your starting position, preventing fly kicks, bans, or rubberbanding. Disabling the mode returns you to your initial position.
• Authentic Rocket Boost & Fake Consumption: Hold fireworks and jump/right-click to launch into flight with genuine continuous propulsion. Fireworks decrement client-side during flight and are automatically restored to their exact original stack counts once Fake Mode is disabled.
• Interactive Fake Items: Pick up, swap into hotbar, hold in hand, or drop (Q) the fake chestplate client-side.
• Clean Experience: Completely silent toggles with no action bar messages, no HUD banners, and completely normal world sky and weather.

Controls & Configuration

• Open Menu: Press O (configurable in Options -> Controls -> Key Binds -> Fake Chestplate), run /fakechestplate (or /fc), or open via Mod Menu.
• Quick Toggle: Can be assigned to a custom hotkey in Minecraft's Key Binds menu.
• Flight Controls: Jump and right-click with fireworks to take off. Landing on the ground or pressing Sneak (Shift) stops flight and returns to walking pose.
