ValveSprint

by Spelis

ValveSprint changes the sprint behavior of Minecraft Java Edition so it follows the movement of Valve games such as Counter-Strike and Half-Life.

What it does

Sprinting starts by default, and a configurable Walk key switches movement back to normal walking while held. The mod is built to copy the feel of Gordon Freeman in Half-Life, and the bundled default settings reproduce that experience by binding Walk to Left Shift and Sneak to Left Control, with the vanilla sprint key unbound. It is a Fabric mod for 1.16 – 26.3 and runs only on the client, so servers do not need it. The source is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Sprint by default

    Holding forward moves the player at sprint speed without pressing a key, as in several Valve games.

  2. Configurable Walk key

    A dedicated key lets the player walk normally while the default sprint is active.

  3. Preset control layout

    The default bindings set Walk to Left Shift and Sneak to Left Control, and the vanilla sprint key is unbound.

What the author says

ValveSprint is a very simple mod that makes Sprinting behave like it does in some Valve games, like Counter Strike and Portal. By default, you're sprinting. But if you press the configurable "Walk" button, you start walking normally.
