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)

In reply to chylex:
I understand your frustration, but your better control mod doesn't have sprinting in all directions right? That's the reason I use this mod.
In reply to SovLV:
Correct, and I'm never going to make that a feature again because it's not vanilla-multiplayer-friendly. The effort of maintaining features, that require singleplayer or a modded multiplayer, is one of the reasons I started over with a new mod without these features.
In reply to chylex:
Fair enough, I only play modded. Would you allow someone to fork the mod to a later version if I happened to commission them to do so?
You can toggle sprint in accessibility settings !
In reply to toftzz:
not for older versions this is why this mod exists
Will we be getting 1.16.4/5 or 1.17 updates? This mod is necessary for me to even play Minecraft, I'd hate to lose it.
Please please PLEASE, update to 1.17, I use this mod all the time for 1.16.5 since running is only tap to run in default and this mod is just a gift from the heavens.
Please update for 1.16.4/5
does the 1.16.3 version work in 1.16.4
In reply to gl1tchy100:
no
Hi! Unfortunately, my game crashes whenever I use your mod for 1.16.5. Will you be updating this anytime soon? Where can I send my crash log?
In reply to modeeves:
The latest version is meant for 1.16.3. You'll have to wait for OP to update the mod to 1.16.5
would it be possible to add an indicator for when you're sprinting? sometimes i don't really notice that i' not sprinting
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)
