No Entity Movement
by MacoMax
No Entity Movement stops a named mob from moving, so a builder can hold a mob in place with a nametag.
What it does
A mob that receives a nametag is frozen in place and keeps facing the same direction until it is given another name. The effect is set through a nametag and an anvil, with no commands or extra items needed. Server owners and map makers can use it to fix mobs in a scene or a test area. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 1.21.3, under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Nametag freezing
Giving a mob a nametag makes it stop moving, so it stays where it was placed.

A named mob keeps the direction it faced when the nametag was applied.
Anvil renaming
Mobs are named with an anvil, and a new name releases the mob again.
