In Minecraft, you have a nearly endless game map that you can explore. Each of the three dimensions — Overworld, Nether, and End — can stretch for millions of blocks. In most scenarios, you will usually walk and run around the areas without any other means of transport. However, walking long distances can be tiring, especially since you have to press a directional button for so long.

Thankfully, there is a mod called "Auto-Run" to help you walk or run long distances with ease, without having to press a button continuously.

As the name suggests, the Auto-Run mod for Minecraft adds a special feature to allow you to walk automatically without pressing a directional button. The mod lets you toggle auto-running on and off with the keyboard button "O" (this can be changed in the keybinds settings under the control panel).

If you have Mod Menu installed, you will be able to see additional settings offered by the mod. It allows you to automatically activate sprint when the auto-run button is pressed, toggle auto-jump along with auto-run, and also toggle the message that pops up whenever the auto-run is activated or deactivated.

Whenever you press a directional button while auto-running, the feature will deactivate, returning you to full control of your movement.

This mod is extremely useful when traveling on long bridges or tunnels. It is also useful to navigate through flatter terrain like the Overworld Plains and Nether Roof.
