Description
Smooth Movement
Smooth Movement is a lightweight Luanti mod that gives player movement a smoother, more inertia-based feel by combining Luanti's built-in slippery node group with simple player physics adjustments.
Instead of replacing the engine's movement system or implementing complex physics, the mod enhances the default movement to create a more fluid and responsive gameplay experience while remaining lightweight and easy to configure.
Features
- Smooth movement with subtle inertia.
- Improved movement feel using Luanti's built-in mechanics.
- Automatically applies to nearly all walkable nodes.
- Lightweight implementation with no engine modifications.
- Simple configuration through a few variables.
- Compatible with most games and worlds.
Configuration
The following values can be adjusted in init.lua:
SLIPPERY – Controls how much momentum the player keeps while moving.WALK_SPEED – Controls the player's movement speed.

Caution ; conflict-prone.
This mod mindlessly overrides the "slippery" property of every node; MTG for instance has slippery=3 for ice, it will be forced to 1. With this mod, your ice won't be slippery anymore.
It also overides the player's jump height and gravity without respect for custom settings of other mods. Actually, I don't see any reason why it resets them to 1, which is the default value, because those properties are multipliers for the settings in minetest.conf. I suspect only the AI that wrote this knows why.
Nothing really dangerous, but this mod definetly should learn some manners.
It is cool but..
It does not support any luanti version above or under 5.16, please fix this as many other Luanti versions can run this mod. keep on the work.
