Air Break
by AstraLucid
Air Break removes the mining speed penalty that applies when a player mines while airborne, on the server side.
What it does
Air Break lifts the slower mining speed a player normally gets while in the air, falling or jumping, so blocks break at ground speed in those moments. The author notes that floating, water jumping and flying are also covered by the change. It is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything, and the author notes that most servers should accept it, though anti-cheat may still flag its use and the risk is the server owner's. Files exist for Fabric on 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
No airborne mining penalty
Blocks break at ground speed while the player is in the air, removing the slowdown vanilla applies.
Water and flight movement
The change also applies while the player is floating in water, water jumping or flying.
Anti-cheat risk
The author states that anti-cheat may still stop the change on some servers, so use is at the owner's risk.

What the author says
This mod removes the slower mining speed while the player is not on the ground (e.g. floating in water, jumping, flying, etc). This mod is also client side, so it should work on most servers, assuming anti-cheat doesn't stop you (use at your own risk). Have fun!
