Omnimovement
by RhysR6S
Omnimovement changes how sprinting works, letting players sprint in any direction and stepping up one-block ledges without a jump.
What it does
Sprinting is no longer limited to forward movement. With Omnimovement, the sprint can be held sideways, backward or diagonally, with a small configurable speed penalty applied to strafing and backpedalling. Forward sprinting stays the fastest direction, and the penalty values can be tuned in the settings. Auto step-up works like the step behaviour of a horse: a player walking or sprinting into a one-block ledge rises onto it without jumping. Sprinting can kick the automatic step on or off, and the auto step can be disabled entirely for walking. Omnimovement adds some new items and blocks, and the author describes the movement as smoother.
The mod is built for both single-player and multiplayer play. Server owners control the sprint speeds and the auto step through server gamerules, which are enabled or disabled server-wide, with both options on by default. Each player keeps a personal client-side preference for the auto step. Settings are edited in a Cloth Config screen reached through Mod Menu on Fabric. Omnimovement runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
Omnidirectional sprint
Sprinting can be held in any direction, with a small configurable penalty when moving sideways or backward.
Auto step-up
One-block ledges are climbed automatically, as a horse does, so walking over them needs no jump.
Server gamerules
Server owners can switch omnidirectional sprint and auto step on or off for the whole server, both enabled by default.
In-game configuration
A Cloth Config screen lets players tune penalties and the personal auto step preference from the game menu.

How it compares
Accessible Step is a client-side only mod released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge from 1.20 onward. Just Sprint is also client-side only, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and is not open source; it covers Fabric builds for 1.16.5 – 1.21.11. Omnimovement differs from both in needing the server to run it too, and it is not open source.

What the author says
Omnimovement lets you sprint in every direction, not just forward, with a small, configurable speed penalty for strafing and backpedalling. It also adds horse-style auto step-up so you walk smoothly over 1-block ledges without jumping. If you find any incompatibilities, let me know.
