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.

2. Select Install client, and click OK
3. Start the Minecraft Launcher

Old Versions
