LegacySneak
by xbudingqwq
LegacySneak brings back the shallow sneak camera from older Minecraft releases while keeping modern collision behavior by default.
What it does
Modern Minecraft lowers the camera noticeably when a player sneaks. LegacySneak limits that movement so the view moves only a little, giving the older feel without altering how normal gameplay behaves. An optional Full Restore setting also brings back the old sneak collision, which lets a player pass through gaps that are half a block shorter than a full block.
The mod offers a choice between smooth instant sneak animations from the classic style and the modern smooth transition when standing up. Because Full Restore allows movement through narrow gaps, it can cause inconsistencies on multiplayer servers, so the option is disabled by default and online use is at the player's own risk. The Fabric Mod Menu is suggested for opening the configuration screen.
LegacySneak is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.2 only, and is released under the MIT License, which means it is not open source. Required dependencies are listed alongside the files.
