Advanced Movement
If you have ever watched a Counter-Strike or Quake veteran glide across a map at absurd speed, you already understand the appeal of strafe jumping. Advanced Movement is a Fabric and QuiltMC mod that rebuilds Minecraft's vanilla movement system around those classic arena-shooter mechanics, letting you accelerate through strafing instead of simply holding a sprint key. The result is a movement layer that rewards practice, precision, and map knowledge rather than raw gear.
This mod is an updated fork of hatninja's "BHop" mod, originally built for Fabric 1.16.5. The fork fixes a long list of bugs and crashes while keeping the original feel intact, and it ships under the MIT license. If you have ever wanted Minecraft parkour to feel like a speedrun category instead of a jumping puzzle, this is the add-on that delivers it.
What Advanced Movement Actually Changes
At its core, the mod replaces Minecraft's default movement handling with Quake-like physics. Instead of losing momentum the moment you release a key, you keep it, and you can build on it. Air strafing becomes a genuine technique: by turning your view while holding a strafe key, you gain speed mid-air in a way vanilla Minecraft never allows.
That single change unlocks a whole vocabulary of movement:
- Bunny hopping — chaining jumps without losing velocity, exactly like Source engine games such as Counter-Strike.
- Strafe jumping — angling your mouse and strafe input together to accelerate beyond normal sprint speed.
- Advanced parkour — using momentum and air control to clear gaps that are impossible with vanilla physics.
- Speedometer feedback — a HUD element (with texture work credited to Hamzaa) that shows how fast you are actually moving.
Because the mechanics are physics-driven rather than scripted, they work anywhere: survival worlds, creative test maps, or dedicated parkour servers. You are not limited to a specific arena.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Fabric and QuiltMC Support
Advanced Movement is available for Fabric and QuiltMC only. There is no Forge or NeoForge build, so plan your mod loader accordingly before you start. On Fabric, the mod requires Fabric API. On QuiltMC, it requires QSL (Quilt Standard Libraries). Install the matching dependency first, or the game will refuse to launch with the mod present.
Version support has tracked the modern Fabric ecosystem, and the mod is designed for players running current 1.20.x and 1.21.x releases. Always check the file list on the mod page to confirm the exact build that matches your game version, since Fabric API versions must line up with your Minecraft version too.
Configuration with Mod Menu and Cloth Config
Neither Mod Menu nor Cloth Config API is strictly required to run the mod, but both are strongly recommended. With them installed, you get an in-game configuration screen where you can tune acceleration, air control, jump behavior, and speedometer display to your taste. Without them, you are stuck with default values that may not suit your playstyle or your map.
How to Install Advanced Movement
Installation follows the standard Fabric or Quilt workflow, and it takes only a few minutes:
- Install Fabric Loader (or Quilt Loader) for your Minecraft version.
- Place Fabric API or QSL in your mods folder, depending on your loader.
- Download Advanced Movement from its official project page and drop the .jar into the same mods folder.
- Optionally add Mod Menu and Cloth Config API so you can adjust the physics values in-game.
- Launch the game and confirm the mod appears in your mod list before loading a world.
If you prefer to skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, pulling Advanced Movement and its required dependencies straight into a compatible profile. The launcher's built-in add-on catalog also keeps track of loader and version compatibility, so you never end up with a Fabric API build that does not match your game version.
What Is Coming Next
The developer has confirmed that parkour-focused blocks are planned for a future update. These blocks are intended to let map makers build bunny hop courses that mirror how CS:GO surf and bhop maps function, complete with dedicated geometry for chaining jumps and maintaining speed. For now, the mod focuses purely on the movement layer, which is already enough to transform how a world feels to traverse.
One thing worth noting: this is a movement overhaul, not a cosmetic tweak. Once you install it, vanilla muscle memory stops working, and that is the point. Expect a learning curve, expect to fall into lava a few times, and expect the payoff to be worth it.
Final Thoughts
Advanced Movement fills a niche that vanilla Minecraft has never addressed: skill-based, momentum-driven traversal. It is lightweight, MIT-licensed, actively maintained as a fork of a proven concept, and it works on both Fabric and QuiltMC with the right dependencies installed. Whether you want to race across a survival world, build a bhop map, or simply feel faster than everyone else on the server, this mod gives you the tools. Grab Fabric API or QSL, download Advanced Movement, and start learning to strafe.
