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

Frequently Asked Questions

Better Sprinting server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.3). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Better Sprinting compatible with forge?

Better Sprinting officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.16.3, 1.16.2, 1.16.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Better Sprinting – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Sprinting consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
