TapSprint
by zachphul
TapSprint lets a player tap one key to start sprinting or sneaking, then tap again to stop, instead of holding the key down.
What it does
Sprint and sneak normally last only while a key is held. TapSprint changes that for both actions: a single press of the sprint key, V by default, keeps the player sprinting until the next press, and a single press of the sneak key, B by default, does the same for sneaking. Both keys can be rebound in the controls menu. Sprinting also stops on its own when the player's hunger runs too low, so the player does not run out of food by accident.
The mod is a client mod. Only the player's game needs it, and a server can run without it. Installation requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and the settings screen is opened from Mod Menu. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and the latest build, 1.0.0, targets 1.21.11. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Toggle sprint on a key tap
One press of the sprint key starts continuous sprinting, and another press ends it.
Toggle sneak on a key tap
One press of the sneak key keeps the player sneaking until the key is pressed again.
Always-sprint option
An optional mode keeps the player sprinting whenever they move forward, without any key press.
Hunger-aware sprint stop
Sprinting ends automatically when hunger drops too low, so long runs do not drain food unnoticed.
Rebindable keys and config screen
Both keys can be changed in the controls menu, and the options are set through a screen opened from Mod Menu.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who spend long sessions moving across the world and find holding sprint or sneak tiring. The mod is for the single-player and multiplayer client, and it works in any game that already uses Fabric for version 1.21.10 or 1.21.11.
How it compares
SprintStart is an open source Fabric client mod under the MIT License, built for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and it starts sprinting from a single press. SprintPlus is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 with all rights reserved, so its code is not open for reuse.

What the author says
Holding sprint or sneak for hours is tedious. TapSprint lets you tap once to toggle sprint on, tap again to turn it off.
