NightVisuals ShiftTap
by NightVisuals
NightVisuals ShiftTap is a Fabric movement utility that automates a brief sneak tap at the moment a player lands a critical hit.
What it does
When a critical hit lands, the utility performs a short sneak tap on the client, timed to that instant. The action follows the standard client-side sneak, so movement vectors stay consistent and nothing glitches in vanilla movement. A toggle inside the NightVisuals GUI turns the behavior on or off, and the default key that switches it can be changed there as well.
The utility is meant for testing movement dynamics and checking character positioning during combat, and it is often used in PvP practice. It is event-driven and lightweight, so it adds no measurable FPS drops or micro-stutters. Settings are kept in separate config files. The mod needs Fabric API and NightVisuals GUI, and it is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.4 only, with 1.0 as the latest Fabric build, published on 2026-07-06.
Key features
Critical hit sneak tap
A brief sneak is triggered automatically the moment a critical hit lands, without manual input.
Synchronized sneaking
The tap uses the same client-side sneak that the game applies, keeping movement smooth.
In-game GUI toggle
The feature can be enabled or disabled from the NightVisuals in-game GUI menu, with a default key.
Low overhead
Event-driven logic runs only when a critical hit occurs, so frame rate stays steady.
