AutoSprintMod
by kuaermdek_
AutoSprintMod keeps the sprint action active whenever the player moves forward, so the Ctrl sprint key does not need to be held during long sessions.
What it does
Normally sprinting in Minecraft requires holding the sprint key while moving. AutoSprintMod removes that repetitive action: once the player moves forward, sprinting starts on its own and continues while the movement lasts, keeping the standard sprinting behavior that players already know. The mod is switched on by default, so it works as soon as the game is launched, and no configuration is needed before playing.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric mod built for the Minecraft 1.21 generation of releases. It changes only movement convenience and makes no other gameplay modifications. Its code is kept minimal, with little impact on performance, and it suits PvP, survival, parkour and exploration alike. Because it runs on the client alone, it can be used on multiplayer servers without any installation on the server side, though server rules on client-side movement changes still apply.
The mod is available for Fabric only, across 13 release versions covering 1.20.5 – 26.3. Its latest file, 1.0.10, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-09-20. It was first published on 2025-09-20 and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Automatic sprinting
Sprinting starts as soon as the player moves forward, so the sprint key does not have to be held.
Enabled by default
The sprint behavior is active from the first launch, without any setup in the settings screen.
Standard sprint behavior
Sprinting keeps the same rules as vanilla sprinting, so the movement feels familiar and predictable.
Minimal scope
The mod changes only sprinting and does nothing else to gameplay, which keeps its footprint small.
