Slide!
by sheeta
Slide! gives players a momentum-based sliding move that carries speed from sprinting, falls and Elytra flight, and it runs on both the client and the server.
What it does
Sliding is steered with the WASD keys relative to where the player looks, so forward, backward and sideways slides are all supported. How far a slide carries depends on the speed built up beforehand: a faster start gives a stronger slide, and sprinting, falling or flying with Elytra add to the momentum. Jumping in the window of 0.2 – 0.4 seconds after a slide begins keeps the momentum for longer and gives a faster jump. Sliding down a slope adds a little speed and extends the slide.
Each slide adds 20 points of fatigue to a maximum of 100, and higher fatigue weakens the next slide. Fatigue recovers at 30 points per second. Walking speed can start a slide too, but with less power than sprinting. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and Fabric builds also need Fabric API. On Forge and NeoForge, Sinytra Connector with Forgified Fabric API lets the Fabric build run, so a player can use the Fabric file on those loaders through that compatibility layer. The code is under the MIT License, but Slide! is not open source.
Key features
Omni-directional sliding
Movement direction follows the WASD keys measured against the player's view, so slides can go in any direction.
Velocity inheritance
Speed from sprinting, falling and Elytra flight carries into a slide, with stronger slides from higher speeds.
Slide jumping
A jump made 0.2 – 0.4 seconds after a slide starts keeps the momentum and jumps further.
Fatigue system
Each slide adds 20 fatigue, up to 100, and fatigue recovers 30 points per second while reducing later slide power.
