Description
Get anywhere faster by running. The sprint mechanic is something essential in open-world games like Minetest. So, here is the mod that allows just that: Sprinting. Sprint by double-tapping the forward key (usually W) or using Aux1 key (default E). When you are sprinting, you get faster, your Field of View changes and ground particles begin to appear behind you. Also, you jump a little higher.

- Adjustable speed and jump multipliers.
- Hunger/stamina drain mechanics (supports
stamina,hunger_ng, andhbhunger). - Support for Character Animations mod.
- FOV transitions between sprint and walk mode.
- Customizable particle effects.
