No More Sinking
by jowi
No More Sinking stops powder snow from turning into solid blocks under other mobs, so mobs no longer get stuck in it.
What it does
Powder snow normally turns solid when a mob sinks into it, which can trap mobs. This Fabric mod changes that behavior so mobs other than the player keep moving through powder snow instead of being held in place. Players can continue exploring snowy areas rather than digging through blocks that formed around them. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Mobs keep moving in powder snow
Mobs that enter powder snow no longer cause it to become a solid block around them.
Player exploration is unaffected
The change targets other mobs, so the player still has to dig out of powder snow and can keep exploring.
Fewer stuck mobs
Mobs are less likely to end up enclosed in solid snow, which keeps them free to move around the world.

What the author says
Did you ever think that changing your fully enchanted diamond boots for leather ones just to get across a snowy mountain is actually annoying? If so, this small mod prevents you and other mobs from sinking into powder snow by turning it into solid blocks.
