Crouching is Dangerous!
by Xikex321
Crouching is Dangerous! is a Forge game mechanics mod that makes crouching hurt the player in 1.20.1.
What it does
Crouching deals damage to the player, a mechanic the author added to make survival harder. The damage type is InWall, which protection enchantments do not reduce. Client and server both need the mod, so only the client and server both run it. It is published for Forge and 1.20.1 only, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Crouch damage
Holding crouch causes damage to the player, adding a new risk to moving carefully.
Protection-proof damage
The InWall damage type ignores Protection IV, so enchanted armor does not block it.
Modpack friendly
The author notes that the mod can be used inside modpacks, and it has a deliberately harder pace.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

That mod will make your game harder. Adding new mechanic which is damaging player when he's crouching. Makes game a lot more challanging. Damage is InWall type what means your protection IV wont save you from that.
