Auto Sneak & Sprint
by MuddledGuy
Auto Sneak & Sprint is a Forge client mod that lets sneaking and sprinting stay on after a single key press, so players do not have to hold the keys down.
What it does
The mod changes how two movement keys behave. With Toggle Sneak enabled, a press of the normal sneak key turns sneaking on, and another press turns it off. With Auto Sprint enabled, sprinting starts on its own once the player moves forward, and the sprint key can cancel sneaking. Both functions can be switched on or off separately in the controls menu.
A minimal status display shows whether sneak and sprint are active. Its position and style can be set in the config screen opened from the Forge Mods menu, and an option hides the display entirely. The mod also offers an optional boost to flight speed in creative mode. Its controls appear in Minecraft's Controls menu under the Toggle Sneak & Sprint category.
Auto Sneak & Sprint descends from BlueAnanas/ZebrasToggleSneak, an earlier project first written by BlauesZebra. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. Files exist for Forge alone, for five game versions 1.2.5 – 1.12.2, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 1.12.2. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only.
Key features
Toggle sneaking
A press of the sneak key starts sneaking, and a second press ends it, so the key does not need to be held.
Automatic sprinting
Sprinting engages without a key press when the player moves forward, and the sprint key can release sneaking.
Status display
A small HUD element shows the current sneak and sprint state, with position, style and visibility set in the config.
Separate switches
Sneak and sprint can each be enabled or disabled independently, and the controls are listed in Minecraft's Controls menu.
Creative flight boost
An optional setting increases flight speed in creative mode for players who move around large builds.

How it compares
Toggle Sneak & Sprint is also a Forge mod for 1.12.2 and is client-side only, but it is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source. Smart Sprint covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.8.9 – 1.21.4, is also client-side only, and is not open source under the MIT License. Burst Door Open needs both the client and the server for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, so it does not fit a client-only setup.
