Sneak Utils
Sneak Utils changes how the sneak key behaves in Fabric, with per-world and per-server settings for sneaking and block-edge stopping.
What it does
Sneak Utils is a client-side utility that lets each world or server keep its own sneaking configuration. A legacy sneak mode restores the behavior players knew from older releases, and a toggle keeps the player from walking off block corners. Camera interpolation has several modes to choose from, and the default step function can be swapped as well.
Cloth Config API is required, so the settings screen is built on it. Mod Menu is optional, but without it the options have to be changed through the config files instead of in-game. Translations are included for German and Italian, and the mod runs in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers alike.
The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source is public. Files are published for Fabric across 21 release versions, 1.18 – 1.21.5, with 1.3+1.12.2 for 1.21.5 as the latest file, first released 2022-02-05 and last updated 2025-04-14. The author has stated plans to bring the mod to another loader, but no such files exist yet.

Block corner stopping
A toggle keeps the player from walking off the edge of a block while sneaking, which is useful for building.
Camera interpolation modes
