Acceleration
by volikbragin
Acceleration makes a sprinting character speed up gradually after starting to run, instead of reaching full speed at once.
What it does
When the player starts sprinting, movement ramps up over a short period rather than switching to full speed immediately. The effect is meant to make movement feel smoother and give more precise control over momentum. Acceleration runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it requires Fabric API. Builds cover 26.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source.
