Open Gui Movement
by Calfmolten
Open Gui Movement lets players walk, jump and sprint while an inventory, chest or furnace screen stays open, and a single key turns the behavior on or off.
What it does
With the mod installed, a player keeps full movement controls while a container or inventory screen is open, so walking, jumping and sprinting work as usual with the chest, furnace or crafting window showing. Movement can be toggled on and off with one key press, and the default binding sits under the Open Gui Movement category in the standard Controls menu of the Minecraft options, where it can be changed.
The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players do not need it, and it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers alike. Smart typing pauses movement automatically when a search bar such as the creative inventory or JEI and REI search field has focus, and movement resumes when the player clicks anywhere else. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License; the project is not open source.
