STAYshifted
STAYshifted keeps the sneak state active when a player opens the chat menu while already holding Shift.
What it does
Normally, pressing T while crouched closes the sneak state and the chat opens without it. STAYshifted changes that: a player who is already holding Shift keeps sneaking while the chat, inventory, pause menu or other screens are open. The mod works in singleplayer and on servers, and it is built to stay light on resources.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything. It needs Fabric Language Kotlin, and the files target 1.21.11 for Fabric only, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Sneak stays active
A player holding Shift keeps crouching while the chat menu is open, instead of standing up on the second press of T.
Works across screens
The same hold applies to the inventory, pause menu and other screens, not only to chat.
Edge control
Keeping the crouch while typing helps players stay on block edges, such as during bridging.
