Mounts Is Bugs
by omoflop
Mounts Is Bugs removes the mining speed penalty that Minecraft applies to a player who is riding a mount in mid-air.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft slows mining for a player who is on a mount above the ground, a debuff that lasts for as long as the ride continues. This mod removes that penalty, so breaking blocks from a flying or hovering mount works at normal speed. The mod also corrects a few cases where the game applies mount rules to ground movement by mistake. It is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 only, with the Unlicense applied to its open source code.
Key features
Mid-air mining penalty removed
Players riding a mount in the air no longer receive the reduced mining speed that vanilla applies.
Ground mount logic fixed
Some mount rules are applied while the rider is on the ground, and this mod corrects that inconsistency.
Client or server optional
The mod can run on a client, on a server, or on both, and neither side needs it to join.

What the author says
This mod removes the mining speed debuff as long as you are riding something. By default, Minecraft applies a 5x mining speed debuff while the player is in the air. For some reason, this also applies to mounts, even if they are on the ground, so this mod adds some additional logic to fix this small inconsistency.
