PathSpeed!
by Nikrecs
PathSpeed! gives walking players a speed boost on blocks they walk over, with each block type carrying its own multiplier set in config.
What it does
The mod runs on the server and works through a server tick check on the block under each player's feet. A configured block applies a transient movement speed modifier sized to its multiplier, and nothing is written to the player or the world. Removing the mod or saving without it restores normal speed at once. Because the boost uses a vanilla attribute, vanilla clients join and receive it with nothing installed.
Default values cover dirt paths at +20%, concrete at +70%, and gravel falling back to a global +50%. Every block id can be given its own multiplier in the form id=multiplier, and configs written before per-block speeds still load without changes. Macaw's Paths, Pavings, Immersive Engineering and Immersive Petroleum roads work with the shipped defaults, while other blocks need editing. Architectury API is required, and Fabric also needs Fabric API, while NeoForge needs only Architectury API. Forge needs additional dependencies. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, and is released under the MIT License, not as open source.
Key features
Per-block speed multipliers
Each block id gets a multiplier of its own, so a dirt track and an asphalt highway give different speeds underfoot.
Boost kept across jumps
The boost continues along a road during a jump instead of dropping back to normal speed mid-hop. An airborne reach setting controls how far down the mod looks.
Optional sprint-only boost
The boost can be limited to sprinting only, so walking players see no change unless the option is turned on.
Reload and per-world config
The config reloads on a running server, and per-world overrides let servers running several worlds vary speeds between them.
Clear config errors
A wrong config entry produces a clear message instead of failing silently, which helps when editing block lists.

What the author says
PathSpeed makes players walk faster on the blocks you choose, so roads are worth building. Every block can have its own speed, so a cheap dirt track and an expensive asphalt highway feel different. Server-side mod — install it on the server (or in singleplayer). Vanilla clients can join and get the speed boost with…
