Sprinter
by QoLabs
Sprinter adds a keybind that toggles automatic sprinting, so the player keeps moving forward without holding the sprint key.
What it does
Once a key is assigned, pressing it switches automatic sprinting on, and pressing it again switches it off. While it is active, the character sprints without the sprint key being held down, which reduces strain on long walks through open terrain. The change happens entirely on the player's side, and only the client needs the mod installed.
Sprinter requires Fabric API and is built for Fabric only. Its files cover 1.21 – 1.21.4, with 1.0-1.21+1.21.4 for 1.21.4 as the latest release, published 2025-04-27 under the Apache License 2.0. The code is not open source, but the license is permissive for the mod's use.

Movement for long walks
Players who cross large distances can set the toggle once and concentrate on navigation instead of input.
