Sneaky Knockback
by haykam
Sneaky Knockback changes how server-side knockback is applied to players who are sneaking, so their hits and falls resolve more like the client.
What it does
On a server with the mod installed, knockback is recalculated so that it matches what a sneaking player sees on their own client. Before the change, a player who was sneaking near a block could in some positions avoid knockback altogether, because the server resolved the push differently. The fix brings the server result closer to the client result. The mod runs on Fabric and needs the Fabric Loader to start. Its environment is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the files target 1.17 – 1.18.1.
Key features
Accurate knockback for sneaking players
Knockback on the server follows the client-side result more closely for players who are sneaking.
Corner block exploit fixed
Sneaking players near a block can no longer negate knockback by lining up with the block order used by the server.
Server-only installation
The file goes in the server mods folder, and clients need no copy to receive the corrected behavior.
