VO: Speedometer
by dasikigaijin
VO: Speedometer shows the player's current movement speed on screen, in blocks per second, with a separate reading for total, horizontal and vertical velocity.
What it does
The mod adds a dedicated entry to the F3 debug screen that reports speed in blocks per second, using the same unit the game uses for its own debug values. The readings come from vanilla's tick-based physics data, so walking, sprinting, jumping, falling, boating, ice sliding and Elytra flight are all measured the same way the game moves the player. The speedometer works on its own, and on Minecraft 26.3 and later it can merge the blocks-per-tick and blocks-per-second figures into a single line.
The mod is built on Minecraft's official Debug Screen Entries architecture, so it appears alongside the game's built-in entries rather than replacing them. It runs on the client only, so a server needs no installation and players join without it, but each player who wants the readings has to install it. Files are published for Fabric only, for five release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, with 1.2.13+1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires Dasik Library and Fabric API.
Key features
Total velocity
Shows the full three-dimensional speed vector as a single magnitude in blocks per second.
Horizontal and vertical speed
Splits movement into horizontal speed for ground, sprinting, ice and boating, and vertical speed for jumping, falling and Elytra pitch.
Smart consolidation
On Minecraft 26.3 and later, the blocks-per-tick and blocks-per-second values can be merged into one line, with the vanilla-only option also available.
Debug screen access
The entry is opened from the debug options screen with F3 + F6 and can be toggled to show always.

How it compares
Squeedometer is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.19.4 – 1.21.1 and is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it covers older versions than VO: Speedometer. Simple Speedometer is also client-side on Fabric, but it targets only 1.21.4 and is not open source, with all rights reserved. Velocity Command differs in environment, since it is server-side only under the MIT License for 1.21.4 – 26.1.2, and it does not show a client-side readout.

Every Minecraft player knows the frustration: you press F3, look for your movement speed, and vanilla gives you Speed: 0.215 blocks/tick.
