Evasive Enchantments
by TheAI
Evasive Enchantments adds seven enchantments to the Transportation category that change how the player moves, including dashes, a pogo-style bounce and extra midair acceleration.
What it does
Each enchantment works through a movement input or a landing or attack event. Holding shift and pressing a movement key cancels the current velocity and performs a short dash in that direction. Sneaking while falling lets the player float upward, and falling fast enough with the slow falling enchantment grants a gentle descent with a fall damage multiplier of -1. Hitting a block backward launches the player away and resets the dash and jump counters, while attacking a target during a fall gives the player an upward boost and resets the same counters. Holding W in midair accelerates forward and avoids the usual drag.
The mod requires Player Motion on every loader. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, so the code is open source, and source code is publicly available. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest builds target 1.21.11, and the mod covers game versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 across three release versions. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing it, and a client copy adds nothing that the server does not already provide.
Key features
Dash enchantment
Holding shift and pressing a direction key cancels existing velocity and performs a short dash to the left, right, forward or backward.
Pogo bounce
Attacking a target while falling gives the player an upward boost and resets the dash and jump counters.
Midair acceleration
Holding forward in midair accelerates the player and reduces the effect of drag, at a maximum level of 1.
Floating and slow falling
Sneaking while falling lets the player float upward, and fast falls can trigger slow falling with a fall damage multiplier of -1.
Stacking effects
Effects from several enchanted armor pieces stack, so multiple pieces add their movement bonuses together.

How it compares
Enchantments Overful works on the server alone and is needed on the server, with the client optional without the other, and it is not open source; it is released under the MIT License and published for 1.21.2 – 1.21.11, so it differs from this mod in its license and version range. Uses Enchantment is also server-side and open source, but under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, with files for 1.21 – 26.3. Aura's Better Movement is a client and server mod for 1.21.11 only, under the WTFPL, so it needs installing on every player's client as well.
