Auto Sprint Plus
by Fu4th
Auto Sprint Plus keeps the player sprinting forward without holding the CTRL key, so long walks and travel sessions need fewer key presses.
What it does
Normally sprinting in Minecraft requires holding CTRL or double tapping W. Auto Sprint Plus replaces that with an automatic sprint that continues while the player moves forward, and a directional auto walk that keeps the character moving in a chosen direction until it is stopped. Pressing the same arrow key again or pressing a movement key by hand ends the automatic movement.
The mod is aimed at long travel, biome exploration, straight-line building and cinematic recordings, where constant movement input is tedious. It runs on the client alone, so players can join most multiplayer servers without any server-side install. Notifications for toggled states can be turned off to keep the screen clean while recording.
The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt across 18 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and its code is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.

Use cases
Long travel
Players crossing large distances can leave sprinting or walking running while they look around or plan a route.
Straight-line building
A steady, unbroken walk helps when laying out roads, walls or rows of blocks in one direction.
Cinematic recording
Smooth continuous movement without key presses suits video capture of exploration.
Who it’s for: Players who explore, travel or record long walks and want fewer repeated key presses. Players on multiplayer servers are covered, since only the client needs the mod.
