Kesha`s Movement
by Kesha_TED
Kesha's Movement changes how held movement keys behave, so walking keeps going smoothly when a player holds a direction.
What it does
The mod targets the stop-and-start feel of vanilla movement, where holding W and then S can halt the character before it resumes. Kesha's Movement smooths those transitions, so backward motion starts as intended instead of cutting out. It is a client-side only Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, released under the MIT License and open source, with source code publicly available.
Key features
Smoother directional input
Holding a direction keeps the character moving continuously rather than pausing between key changes.
Backward movement fix
Switching from forward to backward movement no longer stops the character, so reversing direction stays fluid.
More control while walking
Movement responds more closely to what the player holds, giving finer control over walking.

This mod simplifies movement and gives you more control while walking. Imagine a situation: you’re moving forward by holding down the W key, but then you press and hold S.
