SwiftPath
by F9rO
SwiftPath changes how walking and running feel by letting the block underfoot set movement speed on Forge 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
What it does
Terrain underfoot now matters for movement: a player crossing a dirt path, grass path or paved surface moves at a different pace than on bare ground. The mod is described by its author as lightweight and built to make movement feel more realistic and immersive, and the speed changes apply to the player character.
Coverage extends beyond paths. The mod includes stone bricks, the base overworld stones andesite, diorite, granite and deepslate, the sixteen colors of concrete, sand and red sand, and terracotta, so most common ground blocks take part in the system. A field of view adjustment is also included.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest build. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
