Simple AutoSprint
by pulaskin
Simple AutoSprint makes the character sprint automatically whenever it moves forward, so players do not need to hold the sprint key or double-tap Ctrl.
What it does
Auto-sprint is switched on and off with the V key, which can be rebound in the Controls menu. Once enabled, the character starts sprinting as soon as it moves forward, and vanilla limits still apply: sprinting stops when hunger is too low, while sneaking, and in other cases the game already restricts it. An on-screen notification shows when the feature is toggled.
The mod is a client-side addition that works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers alike. Because it is client-side only, the server does not need it and players can join servers without installing anything. Its author describes it as lightweight, with no measurable performance cost. Installation requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API, and the mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 14 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Toggle with V
Auto-sprint is turned on and off with the V key, and the binding can be changed in the Controls menu.
Respects vanilla sprint rules
Hunger, sneaking and the other conditions that normally stop sprinting still apply while auto-sprint is active.
On-screen notification
A message appears on screen when auto-sprint is toggled, so the current state is visible without opening a menu.
Works in singleplayer and multiplayer
The mod runs on its own in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers, without any server-side part.
