Better Sprinting

by chylex

Better Sprinting changes how the sprint, sneak and flight controls behave, with options for key modes, double-tap handling and flight speed.

ForgeClient or server, optionalCustom license1.7.10 – 1.16.3

What it does

Sprinting, sneaking and flying get alternative control schemes. Players can pick between tap and hold behavior for the sprint key, switch the sprint and sneak keys to toggles, and disable the double-tap of W that normally starts a sprint. In singleplayer, sprinting can also be limited to particular directions.

Creative and spectator flight can run at a configurable speed boost, and flying can continue after touching the ground. Update notifications for Minecraft 1.13 and 1.14 can be configured, and settings are stored in the bettersprinting-client.toml file, which can be opened in a text editor from the config folder.

Forge is the only loader with files, for 1.7.10 – 1.16.3 across 23 release versions, the latest being 3.2.0 for 1.16.3. Only the client needs the mod, so players may install it on a server or leave it out. The mod is not open source and is covered by a custom license. The author says it is a direct replacement for the Better Controls project and will eventually stop being updated.

Key features

  1. Sprint key modes

    The sprint key works as a tap or a hold, chosen in the settings.

  2. Toggle keys

    Sprinting and sneaking can each be switched on and off with a key press instead of held down.

  3. Double-tap control

    The double-tap of W that starts a sprint can be disabled.

  4. Flight speed boost

    Creative and spectator flight speed can be raised by a value set in the config.

Questions

Does Better Sprinting need to be installed on the server?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so players can use it without a server install and the server can run without it.

Where are the settings stored?

In the bettersprinting-client.toml file, which can be edited with a text editor or opened from the config folder.

Does the mod still receive updates?

The author notes that it is intended as a direct replacement for Better Controls and will eventually stop being updated.

While not a direct replacement, I intend to support Better Controls in the future and eventually stop updating Better Sprinting. To verify, open the.jar file in an archive program, view the included LICENSE file, and ensure the first line reads Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
