Better Sprint
by Armandukx
Better Sprint lets players switch sprinting on with a single press, so the sprint key does not have to be held down.
What it does
Once toggled on, the character keeps sprinting without the sprint button held. The mod is a Forge utility for the 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 game versions, with the latest file v1.0.1 for 1.12.2. Only the client needs it; a server can run without it. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source. Its optional dependency, IPCCraft, is not required to run it.
