AutoSprint and W-tap Mod: Effortless Sprinting & Smarter W-Tapping
AutoSprint is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod that keeps you sprinting automatically and adds configurable W-tapping after attacks. It's built for PvP players and for anyone who wants smoother movement without holding down a sprint key.
Features
- Smart Auto-Sprint: Replaces vanilla's clunky sprint-key toggles. Simply hold 'W' to sprint instantly, with perfect safety checks that automatically pause sprinting during sneaking, swimming, using items, flying, or low hunger."
- Smart W-Tapping: after you attack, sprint is briefly dropped and restored. This resets sprint knockback for stronger follow-up hits and combos.
- Target Filter: choose whether W-tapping triggers on everything, only on players, or only on hostile mobs.
- On-Screen Indicator: a small HUD label shows "Sprint: ON/OFF" and your current target filter, so you can check the mod's state during a fight.
- Saved Settings: your on/off state and filter are stored in a config file and carry over between sessions.
- Optional Chat Feedback: toggle messages appear on the action bar and can be turned off in the config.
- Lightweight: it runs only on your client and does a few simple checks per tick.
