Smart Moving Mod Wiki

The Smart Moving mod revolutionizes player locomotion in Minecraft, offering a more fluid and realistic movement experience. It integrates new animations and capabilities that allow players to interact with the environment in novel ways, such as navigating through one-block-high spaces and performing acrobatic maneuvers. The mod introduces a system of 'Smart Moving energy' for certain actions, adding a strategic element to movement by linking it to the player's hunger. [cite:search_result_1, 2_search_result_2, 2_search_result_5]

Smart Moving introduces numerous movement mechanics that expand upon the default player abilities. These mechanics are designed to provide greater freedom and realism in traversing the Minecraft world. [cite:search_result_3, 5]

Climbing

Players gain enhanced climbing abilities, allowing for more dynamic vertical navigation. [cite:search_result_1]

• Basic Climbing: Players can climb over blocks and small walls by utilizing the 'Grab' control. [cite:search_result_1]
• Vine and Ceiling Climbing: The mod enables climbing up vines and along ceilings. Ceiling climbing is supported by specific blocks like steel fences and closed trapdoors. [cite:search_result_1, 2_search_result_2, 2_search_result_4]
• Ladder Climbing: Ladders can be climbed with varying speeds, influenced by the ladder's coverage and adjacent blocks. The mod offers four distinct ladder climbing modes: Free, Simple, Smart, and Standard, with Free mode featuring unique animations and variable speed. [cite:search_result_1, 2_search_result_2, 2_search_result_4]
• Free Climbing: An optional mode that allows players to grab and climb any block with a horizontal edge, including common blocks like sand, dirt, gravel, and stone. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4]
• Climb Jumps: While hanging from a block or ladder, players can perform a jump to move away by combining the 'Grab' and 'Sneak' controls with the 'Jump' action. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4]
• Wall Climbing: The mod also supports climbing only through gaps in walls. [cite:search_result_3, 5]

Crawling

Players can crawl to pass through one-block-high openings, a feature not present in vanilla Minecraft. This optional movement allows for access to otherwise inaccessible areas. [cite:search_result_2, 2_search_result_2, 5]

Sprinting

An alternative sprinting mechanism is introduced, distinct from the default Minecraft sprint. This faster sprint consumes 'Smart Moving energy,' which is visually represented by lightning bolts above the hunger bar. Replenishing this energy requires consuming food, adding a resource management aspect to sustained high-speed movement. [cite:search_result_1, 2_search_result_2, 5]

Diving and Swimming

Smart Moving provides alternative swimming and diving behaviors, making aquatic movement more immersive. [cite:search_result_3, 5]

• Diving: To dive, players must jump into still water that is at least two blocks deep. Holding the forward movement key initiates the dive, and steering is controlled by the mouse. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_2]
• Swimming: To transition from diving to swimming, players release the forward key and hold the 'Jump' key until they reach the surface. Once at the surface, holding the forward key resumes swimming, with steering still managed by the mouse. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_2]

Flying

The mod includes alternative animations for flying and falling, enhancing the visual experience of aerial movement. An optional alternative flying behavior replaces the standard flying, allowing players to control vertical ascent and descent by looking up and down. This alternative flying can be initiated and ended by double-clicking the 'Jump' button, similar to the default flying mechanic. [cite:search_result_3, 5, 2_search_result_2]

Jumping

Several advanced jumping techniques are added, offering new ways to overcome obstacles. [cite:search_result_3, 5]

• Charged Jumps: By holding the 'Sneak' and 'Jump' keys, players can charge a jump, then release 'Sneak' and 'Jump' to perform a significantly higher leap, potentially reaching up to four blocks in height. [cite:search_result_2, 2_search_result_4]
• Side and Back Jumps: Players can execute quick side or back jumps by double-tapping the respective directional movement keys (A, S, or D). [cite:search_result_3, 5, 2_search_result_4]
• Wall Jumping: The ability to jump off walls is also included. [cite:search_result_3, 5]
• Head Jumps: Players can perform jumps that involve leading with their head. [cite:search_result_3, 5]

Sliding

Sliding allows players to quickly traverse low spaces or maintain momentum. [cite:search_result_1]

• Jumping Slide: A 'Jumping Slide' can be performed by combining the 'Sneak' and 'Grab' keys while the player is in motion (sprinting, flying, or falling). [cite:search_result_1]
• Speed Slide: Players can slide through one-block-high openings without losing speed by holding the 'Sprint' and 'Grab' keys, then pressing 'Sneak' just before entering the opening. [cite:search_result_2]

Other Movements

• Configurable Sneaking: The standard sneaking behavior can be configured, including the option to make it togglable. [cite:search_result_3, 5, 2_search_result_2]
• Ledge Climbing: Players can climb up ledges ranging from one to four blocks in height. [cite:search_result_2]
• Fence Climbing: The mod allows players to climb up fences when they are placed in a column. [cite:search_result_2]

The Smart Moving mod introduces new keybinds and redefines the use of existing ones to enable its advanced movement mechanics. These controls can typically be rebound within Minecraft's options menu. [cite:search_result_1, 2_search_result_4]

Note: Some actions, such as side and back jumps, are performed by double-tapping directional movement keys (A, S, D). [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4]

The behavior of the Smart Moving mod is highly customizable through a dedicated configuration file, smart_moving_options.txt. This file is generated automatically if it doesn't exist and is located in the .minecraft folder alongside Minecraft's options.txt. [cite:search_result_5, 2_search_result_4_search_result_4]

Players can modify various aspects of the mod's features, including: [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]

• Movement Speeds: Adjusting parameters related to sprinting and other movement speeds. For example, setting move.speed.user:false can disable user-controlled speed keys. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_5]
• Climbing Behaviors: Customizing the different ladder climbing modes (Free, Simple, Smart, Standard) and other climbing parameters. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4]
• Sneaking: Configuring how sneaking functions, including making it a togglable action. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_2]
• Aquatic Movement: Modifying aspects of swimming and diving. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]
• Aerial Movement: Adjusting alternative flying and falling animations and behaviors. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]
• Jumping: Fine-tuning charged jumps and other jumping mechanics. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]
• Crawling and Sliding: Enabling or disabling these optional movements and adjusting their properties. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]

Default values within the configuration file are designed to be automatically updated with new versions of the mod, ensuring compatibility and access to new settings. [cite:search_result_2_search_result_4_search_result_4]
