Better Controls
Better Controls is a new client-only mod that includes many more toggle keybinds and options than Better Sprinting. It's available for Forge and Fabric.
While not a direct replacement, I intend to support Better Controls in the future and eventually stop updating Better Sprinting.
Features
- Sprint key can be set to Tap or Hold mode
- Toggle keys for sprinting and sneaking
- Option to turn off double tapping W
- Option to sprint in all directions in singleplayer
- Configurable speed boost when flying in creative/spectator mode
- Option to continue flying when touching the ground
- To configure the mod, click the Better Sprinting button in Controls, or press the configuration key in-game (default: 'O')
- To configure update notifications in Minecraft 1.13/1.14, open the config folder (same location as the mods folder), and edit the bettersprinting-client.toml file in a text editor
Tips
- While sprinting, press the Sprint key again to stop
- Opening a GUI while toggle sneaking makes you automatically stand up until you close it
- LAN multiplayer allows sprinting in all directions if the host has the mod installed
Servers
Use the /bettersprinting admin command to enable special features, or automatically disable the mod for players on the server. If you don't have a Forge server, you can read about the server protocol to implement a custom plugin and benefit from the features.
Installation Guide
Client
1. Download and run Forge installer
2. Select Install client, and click OK
3. Start the Minecraft Launcher
4. Visit the Installations tab, and click the Forge profile
5. Open the folder shown in Game directory, and create a folder named mods inside it
6. Download Better Sprinting and place the file into the mods folder
Server
1. Download and run Forge installer
2. Select Install server, don't forget to change the installation folder, and click OK
3. Create a folder named mods in the server folder
4. Download Better Sprinting and place the file into the mods folder
5. Start the server by running forge-<version>.jar
Old Versions
- Old releases for Minecraft versions between 1.2.5 - 1.8 are available in the archive
- If you experience a mod conflict, try installing PlayerAPI Core (only applies to versions 2.0.3 and older)
- In 1.7.10, vanilla clients cannot join Forge servers; if you install the mod on a 1.7.10 server, your users will need to install Forge (the mod itself is not required)

1.16.5 when
Is there a way to add an option that disables toggle sneak for swimming and flying? I came from the Console Edition of Minecraft where toggle sneak didn't affect flying or swimming, so I would appreciate it if you could do that. I don't know if you update versions of this mod for older versions of Minecraft, but if you do, give this for all versions so that I can play with both the current Minecraft and the older ones that I use mods on (Mostly 1.12.2).
better sprinting keeps crashing the modpack im playing when I click the controls tab (The Galaxit Project)

1.12.2 when
do you have 1.12.2?
where is 1.16.4?
add an option to only enable sprint-in-all-directions for creative mode only ?
1.16.1 fabric please : )
In reply to Levizaoo:
Better Sprinting will never be on Fabric, use Better Controls with 1.16.2 or newer.
On 1.8.9 While mod is installed it forbbids me to sprint while in flight or swimming in the water.. how to fix it?
In reply to ogio654:
I don't support 1.8 anymore.
can you add an option that switches running and walking
w = run
shift + w = walk
pls
In reply to Forge_User_70299100:
You could use something like AutoHotkey for that, with the several sprinting options in both Better Sprinting and Better Controls I don't think it's necessary.
WTF?!?! Skips right past Minecraft version 1.10 -_- (I'm playing FTB Infinity Light so am stuck on 1.10.2) does anyone know if an older version of this mod will work on 1.10.2? Or can recommend me another mod that will let me toggle my crouch so as not to die in lava?

WOOT!!!! Ty, ty! I have used this mod since 1.11 and it is a MUST-HAVE for me. I looked at the file list and watched the versions go down, down, down then skip 1.10 and go lower and just assumed 1.10 was skipped. Thanks so much for taking the time to follow-up with a kind smack to my head :)
hi, I'm confused on making a protocol for a non forge server, can you help me?
This has some features that I like, especially disabling the double-tap to sprint option. I'm wondering if this might also feature a simple auto-run feature, as well? I absolutely have to use something like that for Minecraft, because holding down the W key constantly absolutely kills my hand. However, the mod I usually use for this hasn't been updated past 1.12. Any chance that could be added to this mod?
In reply to Kitherit:
I already added that to Better Controls linked at the top of the page.
In reply to chylex:
Ooohhhh I missed that! Just threw it into my mods, and it's working great so far! Thank you so much!
