At the moment, there is not one similar mod for 1 17 fabric that could work
I know what is on the fabric 1 18
But 1 18 at the moment many lag
And not everyone likes the new generation
And a lot of datapacks for 1 17

here you go this mod has 1.17 support, no need dev backport to 1.17 fabric

As I have been debating whether I even want to keep fabric support for newer versions, I think it's pretty fair to say that this will never happen. Alternative mods do exist for 1.17, feel free to use those.
