JustStraight
by n3ch
JustStraight makes the character run forward on its own once a player presses a button, so no movement key has to stay held.
What it does
Pressing the configured button starts a forward run that continues without holding any key, and the character keeps moving straight ahead until the run is stopped. Auto run can also jump automatically while running, which helps the character clear small gaps and steps along a route. Long trips across a map become less tedious because the character covers ground without constant input.
The mod is intended for travel over long distances and for moving past obstacles or mobs that would otherwise need manual control. Its auto eat option only draws from food on the hotbar. Settings are reached through Mod Menu, and the configuration file can also be edited directly. Installation needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API alongside the mod on Fabric. JustStraight is client-side only, so only the player's client runs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files cover 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.3.3.7 for 1.21.8 as the latest build.
Key features
Hands-free forward run
Pressing a button makes the character run straight ahead, acting like a held forward key without any input kept down.
Automatic jumping
While the run is active, the character can jump on its own, which carries it over small obstacles along the way.
Hotbar-only auto eat
The auto eat option takes food only from the hotbar, so it does not dig into the rest of the inventory.
Configurable settings
Options are available through a Mod Menu screen, and the configuration file can be edited directly for the same settings.
