Crawl on Demand

by CraftyCoder

Players who need to slip past enemies or squeeze through low gaps can use Crawl on Demand, which lets a player go prone at will.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20 – 26.2

What it does

A hotkey sends the player into a prone crawl on the ground, and the crawl can pass through any space at least one block high. The default key is LEFT-ALT, and it can be changed in Key Binds. Players use it to lower their profile, move unseen and act out spy or soldier roles.

Crawl on Demand works in single player and on multiplayer servers, and the author states it is compatible with most other mods. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files target 1.20 – 26.2, with 26.2.x-1.3.1 as the latest build, released 2026-06-26 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Prone crawling

    The player lies flat and moves along the ground through gaps at least one block high.

  2. Hotkey toggle

    Crawl is switched on and off with a single key, LEFT-ALT by default.

  3. Rebindable key

    The toggle key can be assigned to any other key in the Key Binds menu.

  4. Single player and servers

    The crawl works in single player and on multiplayer servers alike.
