Crouching Sound
Crouching Sound makes sneaking audible by playing a sound when the player crouches, and the sound depends on the player's condition.
What it does
Whenever the player starts to crouch, the mod picks a sound that depends on the state the player is in: standing on solid ground, falling through the air, inside lava, floating in water, or fully underwater. The mapping is fixed in the mod, so each condition has its own sound. On the ground the sound is an armor equip sound, in the air a witch potion throw, in lava a lava hiss, and in water a generic splash, while a submerged player hears a swimming sound.
The sound is heard only by players whose client runs the mod, and only for players within render distance who crouch. Because of that, a player can hear a nearby sneaking player without the crouching player being able to tell. The author notes that this can give an unfair advantage, and that server owners should ask their admins for permission before using it on a server. Crouching Sound is client-side only, so servers do not need to install it, and it requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader for 1.19.3.
Key features
Condition-based sounds
Crouching plays one of five sounds, selected by whether the player is on the ground, in the air, in lava, in water or submerged.
Vanilla sound events
Each sound is a vanilla Minecraft sound event, such as the armor equip sound or the witch potion throw.
Render distance hearing
Players within render distance who crouch are audible to other clients running the mod, which covers sneaking near another player.
Client-side operation
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it to play the sounds.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want audible feedback when crouching and who run Fabric for 1.19.3. Because it changes what other players can hear, server owners should ask their admins for permission before using it on a server.
