Aura's Better Movement
by Auraea
Aura's Better Movement changes how the player moves in the air, on water and on lava, adding dashes, a double jump, a wavedash boost and a glide.
What it does
Vanilla movement is the starting point here. The mod adds a resource meter under the crosshair that pays for a double jump, a dash and a wavedash boost, each drawing from the same bar. Leaving the ground and pressing jump again in mid-air uses half of the bar, and the bar refills over about four seconds. Some abilities are switched off while the player is in water or lava, and a sound cue marks each action.
The mod is aimed at players who want a faster, more acrobatic feel, with aquatic parkour and dramatic exits from a fall. The license is WTFPL, and the project is not open source under the usual category. Aura's Better Movement runs on Fabric for 1.21.11, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.11 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest file from 2026-06-23.
Key features
Double jump
Pressing jump again after leaving the ground costs half of the resource bar, and a jump after a fall of at least two blocks also works.
Dash in any direction
A press of Sneak launches the player in the direction they are looking, and holding Back dashes backward instead.
Wavedash boost
Landing within about three seconds of a dash grants a speed boost, and the crosshair changes to show when a boost is active.
Airborne acceleration
Holding Sprint in the air gradually speeds the player up in the direction they face, and the Aerodynamics effect raises speed to three times.
Dash meter
A small icon below the crosshair shows the remaining charge and fills back up when a dash is ready again.

What the author says
Minecraft's movement, frankly, is kinda lame. Inspired by a movement shooter that I'm actively developing, Aura's Better Movement is here to fix that! (or at least make it feel a lot less like you're piloting a very heavy shopping cart through molasses)
