Sneaky Screens
by haykam
Sneaky Screens keeps menus open while a player holds the sneak key, so an inventory, chest or pause screen stays up after sneaking.
What it does
Sneaky Screens is a Fabric client mod for Minecraft 1.15 – 1.21.10. It persists the sneak state of a screen: when a player opens an inventory, chest or pause menu while sneaking, the sneak state carries over and the screen stays open. The mod requires the Fabric modloader and nothing else, and only the client needs it; servers run without it. Source code and the issue tracker are public, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
