Keep Walking

Move freely while your inventory is open.

No more freezing in place every time you open a chest, crafting table, or your inventory. With Keep Walking, your character keeps responding to movement keys even when a container screen is active.

Features

• Full WASD movement while any container screen is open (inventory, chests, furnaces, crafting tables, hoppers, dispensers, brewing stands, anvils, etc.)
• Jump while browsing your inventory
• Sprint and sneak still work as expected
• No singleplayer pause — the world keeps running behind your screen
• Respects your keybinds — works with remapped movement keys
• Zero configuration — install and go, nothing to set up

Compatibility

This mod is client-side only — it works in singleplayer and on any server without the server needing the mod installed.

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.1.x
2. Install Fabric API
3. Drop keep-walking-1.0.0.jar into your .minecraft/mods/ folder
4. Launch the game

How does it work?

Vanilla Minecraft stops processing movement key inputs when a container screen is open. Keep Walking uses two lightweight mixins to bypass this:

• Movement keys are polled directly from the keyboard when a container screen is detected, bypassing the screen's input capture
• Singleplayer pause is disabled for container screens so the world keeps ticking

No packets are modified, no server-side changes are made. It simply lets your character respond to keys that were always being pressed.
