Sleight
by Fatin
Sleight is a Fabric transportation mod for 1.21.1 that swaps positions between the player and living things, with a handheld wand that marks and trades places.
What it does
A wand lets the player right-click a living thing within sight and trade positions with it. Aim the wand at empty air and right-click: the player changes places with the marked spot, wherever it lies in the same dimension, regardless of the distance. Sneak-right-clicking marks a position first, and each mark is spent once it is used. The wand leaves thin trail particles while it runs, and its effects depend on the target, so a swap with a cow drops the player to the cow's standing spot.
The swap also works as a fall tool: jumping off a cliff and trading places with a cow standing at the bottom lands the player safely below. Because the wand only works on living things, it does not act as a general short-range teleport. Four seconds pass between uses, the wand loses durability, and each use costs 3 levels. Sleight requires Fabric and is published for 1.21.1 only.

Use cases
Escaping a fall
Trading places with a mob at the bottom of a drop lets the player land without the fall damage they would otherwise take.
Crossing a busy cave
Marking a far spot and swapping to it avoids routing through a crowded area.
Who it’s for: Players who want a movement item that works on living things rather than blocks, and server owners who run Sleight on a Fabric server with the client installed.

What the author says
Right-click a mob and you swap places with it. That's the mod. It sounds thin, and it would be, except the swap is honest. You get its position, it gets yours, and everything that came with it goes too: your momentum, and however far you'd already fallen.
