Climbing of animals on ladders is inconsistent

The bug

When any living entity falls into the space of a ladder or vine block, their fall distance resets and they 'climb' down the ladder/vine. For certain entities, such as players, endermen and zombies, this is consistent. For entities like pigs and sheep this is not consistent though: real pigs and sheep can't climb ladders, neither up or down.

A more consistent solution would be to separate living entities in those that can climb and those that can not climb:

What entities should definitely climb

  • Player
  • Cat
  • Ocelot
  • Snow Golem
  • Villager
  • Wandering Trader
  • Enderman
  • Zombie Pigman / Zombified Piglin
  • Spider
  • Cave Spider
  • Iron Golem
  • Creeper
  • Drowned
  • Evoker
  • Husk
  • Pillager
  • Skeleton
  • Stray
  • Vindicator
  • Witch
  • Wither Skeleton
  • Zombie
  • Zombie Villager
  • Piglin

What entities should definitely not climb

  • Cow
  • Donkey
  • Fox
  • Horse
  • Mooshroom
  • Mule
  • Parrot
  • Pig
  • Rabbit
  • Cod
  • Salmon
  • Sheep
  • Skeleton Horse
  • Squid
  • Tropical Fish
  • Turtle
  • Pufferfish
  • Bee
  • Dolphin
  • Llama
  • Panda
  • Polar Bear
  • Wolf
  • Blaze
  • Elder Guardian
  • Guardian
  • Phantom
  • Ravager

Other entities don't really make sense whether they do it or not.

To reproduce

  1. Place a column of climbable blocks
  2. Spawn a pig on top of the column so that the pig falls down
     See the pig climbing down: pigs can't even climb...
