## Better Controls
\nBetter 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.<\/p>\n
While not a direct replacement, I intend to support Better Controls in the future and eventually stop updating Better Sprinting.<\/p>\n
## Features
\n– Sprint key can be set to *Tap* or *Hold* mode
\n– Toggle keys for sprinting and sneaking
\n– Option to turn off double tapping W
\n– Option to sprint in all directions in singleplayer
\n– Configurable speed boost when flying in creative\/spectator mode
\n– Option to continue flying when touching the ground<\/p>\n
– To configure the mod, click the Better Sprinting button in Controls, or press the configuration key in-game (default: ‘O’)
\n– 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<\/p>\n
### Tips
\n– While sprinting, press the Sprint key again to stop
\n– Opening a GUI while toggle sneaking makes you automatically stand up until you close it
\n– LAN multiplayer allows sprinting in all directions if the host has the mod installed<\/p>\n
### Servers
\nUse 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.<\/p>\n
