Sky Ice Walking
by VeyloXen
Sky Ice Walking lets a player walk across open air, with ice blocks appearing under the feet as each step is taken.
What it does
While the toggle is on, ice blocks appear beneath the player as they move, so walking over empty space becomes possible. The ice keeps forming while the player jumps, and the toggle key switches the effect on and off. The default key is R, and it can be changed in the keybind settings. The mod works in creative building, exploration and sky-themed play.
Two placement modes are available and a second key, V by default, switches between them. The 3x3 mode lays a wide platform that is stable to walk on, while the 1x1 mode places a single block under the feet for precise movement. Holding crouch breaks the blocks below and creates a descending ice path, which lets the player move downward through the air. Fall damage is avoided on that descent.
Sky Ice Walking runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License. The mod is not open source. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Automatic ice placement
Ice blocks form under the feet while walking or jumping in the air, so the player crosses open sky.
Wide and precise modes
A 3x3 platform gives a stable surface, and a 1x1 block gives exact control of each step.
Crouch descent
Holding crouch removes the blocks below and builds an ice path that carries the player downward through the air.
Configurable keys
Both the toggle and the mode switch can be remapped in the controls menu, so the keys suit each player.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to move through open air in singleplayer or on multiplayer servers. Server owners should check their rules before enabling it, since the author notes that bans and issues are the responsibility of the server.
How it compares
Auto Walk is client-side only, released under the MIT License and published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.10, so it runs on a client alone and does not cover 1.21.11. EasyStep is client and server, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.11 only, which is also the version Sky Ice Walking targets. Hold To Walk is client-side only, open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and published for 1.21.11, so it changes walking on the client without placing blocks.
