Run at sprint-jump speed without constantly bunny hopping.
In vanilla Minecraft, repeated sprint-jumping is noticeably faster than sprinting along the ground. This encourages players to jump throughout ordinary travel even when the terrain does not call for it.
Sprint Equalizer makes ground sprinting match the average speed of vanilla sprint-jumping. It also adjusts the additional horizontal impulse from sprint-jumps so that jumping does not become the faster option again.
Normal jumping remains unchanged: the mod does not alter jump height or add a new movement ability.
Run when you want to run. Jump when you actually need to.
With the default settings, sustained ground sprinting and sustained sprint-jumping both average approximately 7.13 blocks per second while moving forward across ordinary terrain.
The default coefficients are mathematically calibrated for standard vanilla movement. Ice, unusual block friction, low ceilings, collisions, status effects, and movement changes from other mods can affect exact measured speeds.
Players can control the mechanic for themselves without operator permissions:
/sprintequalizer
/sprintequalizer on
/sprintequalizer off
/sprintequalizer toggleThe command affects only the player who uses it.
Server owners can disable personal switching through the configuration. Saved player preferences persist through deaths, reconnects, and server restarts, and become active again if personal switching is later re-enabled.
Sprint Equalizer has four server-controlled settings:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
enabled |
true |
Enables or disables the mechanic globally. |
allowPlayerToggle |
true |
Allows players to enable or disable the mechanic for themselves. |
groundSprintMultiplier |
1.26983964975591 |
Controls ground sprint speed relative to vanilla ground sprinting. |
sprintJumpImpulseMultiplier |
0.828112143105486 |
Controls the additional horizontal impulse received from sprint-jumping. |
Custom coefficients can create a slower, faster, or differently balanced movement model.
Supported platforms:
Install the file matching both your exact Minecraft version and mod loader.
The mod must be installed on both the client and server. In singleplayer, installing it in the normal client mod folder covers both sides.
Fabric installations also require Fabric API.
Sprint Equalizer uses Minecraft's standard Movement Speed attribute and adjusts only the additional horizontal impulse produced by sprint-jumping. It does not change vertical jump height.
Speed and Slowness effects, unusual block friction, ice, low ceilings, collisions, and movement changes from other mods can affect the exact result. Mods that independently rebalance ground sprint speed or sprint-jump momentum may conflict.
You may include the unmodified mod in public or private modpacks without asking for permission.
