SimpleMovement
SimpleMovement changes how a player moves on foot in 1.20.1, adding climbing, dashing, long jumps and a fall-damage negation.
What it does
Crouching next to a wall within one block lets the player climb it, and crouching under a block lets the player hang from it and move along, on a cooldown between uses. A tap of the dash key sends the player forward, and a dash started 0.1 seconds before landing cancels the fall damage. Crouching and pressing R performs a long jump with a cooldown of about 4.5 – 5.5 seconds.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2025-05-07. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Wall climbing
Crouching while looking at a wall within one block starts a climb, which has its own cooldown.
Dashing and fall protection
A dash shortly before hitting the ground cancels the fall damage, which makes drops from height safer.
Crouch long jump
Crouching and pressing R launches a long jump, with a cooldown of 4.5 – 5.5 seconds.
