Just Sprint
by HaniNumber1
Just Sprint keeps the sprint key engaged for Fabric players, so the character keeps running forward without holding Ctrl.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, the player moves forward at sprint speed whenever movement begins. Sprinting pauses in the same situations as vanilla, such as sneaking, swimming, riding an entity, using an item or when food runs low. An on/off toggle sits in the Mod Menu configuration screen, and the chosen setting is kept between game launches. The mod ships English and Russian localizations.
Just Sprint runs on the Fabric loader only, with Fabric API and Mod Menu required for the configuration screen. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.21.11 across five release versions, and the latest file, 1.0.0, targets 1.21.11. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
Key features
Automatic forward sprint
The character sprints forward whenever it starts moving, so the sprint key does not need to be held.
Vanilla-style conditions
Sprinting stops in the same situations as vanilla: sneaking, swimming, riding, using an item or low hunger.
Mod Menu toggle
A switch in the Mod Menu configuration screen turns automatic sprinting on or off.
Saved settings
The selected option stays in place between game launches, so it does not need to be set again each session.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Long walks through the world
Players who travel long distances without wanting to hold Ctrl can keep moving forward with less input.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who prefer to keep the character running while they focus on other parts of the game. It is a client mod, so it only needs to be installed on the player's own Fabric setup.
How it compares

Smart Sprint covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.8.9 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Just Sprint differs by using the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source, and it supports five game versions across 1.16.5 – 1.21.11.
