Scamper
Scamper changes how the player moves, adding step height, ledge climbing and softer landings to vanilla movement in a Minecraft world.
What it does
Sprinting raises the step height, so the player can rush up hills and jump over fences. Crouching before a jump lets the player grab a ledge two blocks high. Holding sneak while landing reduces minor fall damage and softens major falls. Standing on a crafting table or a safety rail no longer makes the player tip over, which keeps routine movement comfortable and familiar.
Scamper is aimed at players who want Minecraft to feel more fun to play without giving up the vanilla routine. It is part of the Comfy Improvements series, and the author encourages its use in modpacks. Scamper is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and there is also a data pack build. The server must run the mod, while players may add it on their own side, and builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.5. It is not open source and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license.

Exploring rough terrain
Hills, fences and ledges become easier to cross on foot without building stairs or ladders.
Who it’s for: Players who want more fluid movement in vanilla survival, and modpack makers building a comfortable base for their packs. Scamper runs on the server, so players who join the server need nothing extra.
