Sprint Lock
by innatecube
Sprint Lock keeps Toggle Sprint switched on once a player enables it, so sprinting survives deaths, respawns and dimension changes in Minecraft 26.2.
What it does
The mod patches the key mapping reset logic directly, so the Toggle Sprint preference is no longer cleared when a player dies, respawns, travels to the Nether or the End, logs out or disconnects from a server. Instead of injecting raw input on each tick, it keeps the native Toggle Sprint state intact across player recreation events. Accidentally tapping the sprint key again no longer turns sprinting off during play.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, released under the MIT License, and its source code is public. It requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional: its config screen offers a simple toggle that turns Sprint Lock off and restores vanilla behavior instantly. It works whether the vanilla setting is Hold or Toggle, and it is built on a pure mixin implementation. Files are published for 26.2 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file, first published on 2026-07-01.
Key features

Once enabled, Toggle Sprint stays locked on and is not reset by the game's normal state changes.
Survives respawns and travel
The sprint state carries over deaths, dimension changes such as entering the Nether, and server disconnects.
Accidental toggle protection
Pressing the sprint key again during play no longer switches sprinting off.
Mod Menu toggle
An optional button in the Mod Menu config turns the mod off and restores vanilla sprint behavior at once.
