MinehopLite
by NerdOrg
MinehopLite brings Source Engine style bunny hopping to Minecraft, letting players chain jumps and strafe to build speed across parkour courses.
What it does
Movement follows Source Engine rules, so jumps can be chained and speed is gained through air strafing, a technique familiar from Counter-Strike. The mod overrides vanilla movement logic for these actions, and its settings control how that logic behaves. Config options are stored on the server side, so server owners can set them for their own players.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only the client needs it; the server does not have to install anything. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric and Forge across four release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. The latest Fabric build is 1.1.13 for 1.21.4, and the latest Forge build is 1.0.13 for 1.20.4. The code is released under All rights reserved, so the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Parkour courses
Players who build or run courses can use chained jumps and strafing to move between platforms faster.
Movement practice
The HUD gives a readout of strafe efficiency, which helps players compare how cleanly they move.
Who it’s for: Players who want Counter-Strike style movement in Minecraft, and server owners who run parkour maps and want the movement settings applied on their own server.
How it compares
Smoove is a client and server mod for Fabric only, covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved and not open source. Parkour Blocks is also Fabric only, published for 1.20 – 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, and it needs both sides to run. MinehopLite differs by running client-side only and offering both Fabric and Forge files.
