Gallium
by ObsidianMode
Gallium is a Fabric client-side movement mod that adds Quake-style strafing and speed boosts, pressed with the left Shift key.
What it does
Gallium changes how the player's character moves: holding the left Shift key can raise speed in a Quake-inspired way, with a boost that the author describes as roughly 0.4 blocks per second. Only the client needs the mod, so a player can install it on a single-player world or a multiplayer client without any change on the server side. Files are published for Fabric across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released under the MIT License as open source.

When the left-shift button is pressed there is a %15 chance that the player's speed will increase about 0.4 B/S (blocks a second). Which is about 96% chance in 1 second (i dont know why i added this)
