Auto-jump is a feature in Minecraft that automatically makes your character jump when you approach a block that is one block high. While this can be convenient at times, it can also be annoying for some players. Here's how you can turn off auto-jump in Minecraft:
Open the Minecraft game and go to the main menu.
Click on the "Options" button.
Select "Controls" from the menu.
Look for the "Auto-jump" option and click on it to turn it off. The option should now say "Off" instead of "On."
Once you have turned off auto-jump, click on the "Done" button to save your changes.
That's it! You have successfully turned off auto-jump in Minecraft. Now your character will no longer jump automatically when you approach a one-block high obstacle.

Auto Jump Feature Pros and Cons in Minecraft
The Auto Jump feature was first added to the Pocket Edition of Minecraft so that the players playing on a Mobile could focus more on the other functions in the game rather than having to jump all the time. This feature ( some would argue possibly a pointless control) was added to the JAVA edition in 1.10, or the Frostburn update.
Along with the addition of the auto jump mechanic, the devs also added a ton of great Nether-related blocks to the game that is essential to the game even today. Structure blocks, magma blocks, nether bricks, fossils made from bone blocks were also added to the game.
Mobs like Strays and Husks were also introduced to the game via the frostburn update in Minecraft.
The Auto Jump feature was both loved and hated by fans at the time of its release, some like it while some straight-up despise it. Let’s take a quick look at the pros and cons so that you can make a better choice on should you leave the feature on or disable it!
Pros
If you’re a Mobile player, then the auto jump feature is a must for you. The mobile screens aren’t very big even today. So rather than having to click the jump button again and again, why not let the code do the jumping.
Apart from that, as there is no haptic feedback to your fingers on a screen, your fingers might miss the jump button many times, and jumping is very important especially when you’re running away from mobs!
Cons
On platforms where Minecraft can be played using controllers or a keyboard and mouse the auto jump is redundant, you don’t really need it as it will hinder your playing style.
You will jump when you get near a one-block high obstacle, which is not very convenient on a controller, as you can simply press a button to jump!
