Instant Sneak

by radwl

Instant Sneak removes the camera animation that plays when a player crouches, so the view changes at once when sneaking starts or stops.

What it does

Sneaking normally lowers the camera in a short animation. This mod drops that transition, while the rest of the camera behaves as before. Only the client needs it, so players can join a server without installing anything. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.10 on Fabric and NeoForge, released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Instant camera change

    The camera moves to the crouched height immediately instead of easing down over several frames.

  2. Other camera behavior kept

    Camera movement, head tilt and the rest of the view work as they do in vanilla, with only the crouch animation removed.

  3. Client-side install

    Installing it on the client alone is enough, and servers do not need to run the mod.

How it compares

Full comparison

Sprint Sneak HUD is also client-side only, but it is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 and is not open source. Client Sneak is a client-side NeoForge mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, so the two differ by loader and version range.
