However. The one issue and difference between 1.7 sprinting and BSM is this. BSM is unlimited sprint (restricted by your hunger bar, of course), whereas 1.7 is not. With BSM you can sprint, hit a block and slow down, then move away from the block and start sprinting instantaneously without lifting a finger. With 1.7, as far as i know, you need to re-press the sprint key to start going again. THIS IS THE ISSUE, and i completely agree. There is still a difference, albeit the difference has been reduced somewhat, and this means that fair game play is still not possible between vanilla clients and bsm modded clients.
