Simpleriding
Simpleriding lets players enhance mounts with enchantments and armor, so horses, pigs, striders and camels travel faster and jump higher.
What it does
Saddled mobs gain speed and jump height from items that players apply to them. A Tailwind Saddle raises speed sharply, and Leaping Horse Armor boosts jump height so obstacles can be cleared. Horse armor accepts standard boot enchantments such as Feather Falling, Frost Walker and Protection, and the speed increase per enchantment level is configurable.
The mod is Fabric-only and targets 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.5 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. It needs Cloth Config API, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Client and server both need it, so players and the server must install it together.
