About this Mod
A simple mod that makes Slow Falling actually good by disabling/pausing it when the player is sneaking.
Alongside that, it adds a gamerule (which is false by default) that gives players levitation for a short time when Slow Falling is re-enabled, since the application of Slow Falling to a player that is already falling does not slow them down. This, however, is experimental, and can cause unintended effects such as allowing players to fly via mashing their sneak key.
You do not have to credit me if this mod is added to a modpack, however, please do not redistribute the mod elsewhere or claim that it is you who created it.
