Take it Slow Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off sprinting completely?
Sprinting is disabled by default when you install Take it Slow Mod. You'll move at standard walking speed at all times, and the sprint key won't function. If you want to re-enable sprinting, you can adjust this in the mod's configuration file.
Can I disable swimming too or just sprinting?
You can disable swimming separately from sprinting through the mod's configuration settings. Both features can be toggled independently, so you could keep swimming enabled while sprinting stays off, or disable both for maximum movement restriction.
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
Yes, Take it Slow Mod works consistently in both singleplayer and multiplayer environments. All players on a server with the mod installed will experience the same movement restrictions.
Will my base building strategy need to change?
Yes—without sprinting, you'll want to plan more compact base layouts and reduce distances between frequently-visited areas to minimize travel time. Consider building vertical structures or using teleportation methods to compensate for slower horizontal movement.
How does combat work if I can't sprint away?
Combat becomes more tactical since you can't sprint-escape from threats. You'll need to rely more on positioning, barriers, and defensive structures rather than running away, making preparation and planning more important.
Can I still use boats and minecarts to travel fast?
Yes, boats and minecarts are unaffected by this mod and remain your fastest travel methods. They're essential for long-distance exploration when sprinting is disabled.
Does this mod affect other players' mods or vanilla features?
Take it Slow Mod only affects movement speed mechanics. Other mods and vanilla features work normally; it's purely a gameplay adjustment for pacing.
What if I want to adjust movement speed to something between walking and sprinting?
The mod focuses on removing sprinting entirely rather than creating intermediate speeds. You can configure whether sprinting is on or off, but custom speed values depend on your specific mod version's configuration options.
Does disabling swimming affect underwater exploration?
If you disable swimming, you'll move slowly through water and sink faster, making underwater exploration more challenging and time-consuming. You may want to use potions or equipment to help with underwater navigation.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Take it Slow Mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause performance problems. It's a simple movement adjustment that runs smoothly across different platforms and doesn't add complex calculations or entities.
