Prone and Slide
by CuriousCat
Prone and Slide gives Forge players a sliding, crawling and diving movement set for Minecraft 1.20.1, with a prone key and omni-directional sprinting.
What it does
Holding the sprint key while the prone key is pressed starts a slide, and a prone stance lets the character crawl and dive. Sprinting works in every direction rather than only forward. A sneak or a jump interrupts a slide, and simple player animations accompany each movement. The mod is built on playerAnimator, which must be installed beside it for the animations to run.
The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. A config option toggles the mod on or off by default. Cloth Config API is optional and adds a graphical config screen when present.
Key features
Sliding movement
Sprinting and pressing the prone key starts a slide that carries the player forward across the ground.
Prone and crawling
A prone stance lets the player lie down and crawl, and it can lead into a dive.
Omni-directional sprinting
Sprinting works in all directions, so the player is not limited to moving forward while sprinting.
Interruptions
Sneaking or jumping ends a slide or prone movement, returning the character to normal movement.
Toggle and config screen
A config option enables or disables the mod, and Cloth Config API adds a graphical screen for changing settings.

Use cases
Tactical movement in survival
Players who want low, crawling movement for stealth or dodging can use the prone stance and slides during play.
Parkour and traversal
Slides and dives give a way to cover ground differently on maps built for fast movement.
Who it’s for: Players who want sliding and prone movement in Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge, and server owners who run the mod alongside playerAnimator.
