Is it possible to enable the ability to run backwards in Minecraft?

I would really like to know if you can run backwards in Minecraft?

Is this possible?

Best Answer

In Vanilla Minecraft, you can't.

There is however, a mod that does this: Better Sprinting. This mod allows you to use keybinds for sprinting instead of using the default 'double-tap forward' feature. It also allows you to toggle an option to turn on sprinting in all directions, which is exactly what you want - plus it allows you to sprint sideways as well!

Have a look at the video below to see it in action:

Is it possible to sprint backwards in Minecraft?

Normally you can't double tap the down arrow to sprint backwards, but by doing a sprint jump and then immediately slide your finger down to the down button, there's a chance you'll run backwards, the best to know you got it is when you see the particles of the ground ahead of you and if the paper doll is still visible ...

Minecraft for PC or Mac. Double tap the forward key. This is W by default. Press and hold after double-tapping to keep sprinting forward.
