Smooth Sneak
by immolatio
Smooth Sneak changes how the camera lowers when a player sneaks, adding a gradual first-person sneak animation for Forge on 1.12.2.
What it does
Sneaking in vanilla Minecraft drops the view height abruptly, and the first-person sneak animation was removed after alpha. Smooth Sneak restores a smoother camera drop when sneaking is toggled on or off. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Only the Forge 1.12.2 build exists, published as version 1.0.0 on 2026-08-25 and released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Smooth camera drop
The camera lowers gradually when the player sneaks, instead of snapping to the crouched height.
First-person sneak animation
A sneak animation returns in first person, which was missing since alpha, and it lowers when sneaking is toggled off.
Adjustable drop height
The first-person drop height can be customized, with an extra offset on the Y axis so the amount matches the player's preference.

This mod should be compatible with other mods and shouldn't cause…
