⚠️IMPORTANT NOTE⚠️
The Crouching Sound mod doesn't just play the crouching sound at the client (users of this mod), but it also plays it at every other player within render distance, that crouches, which can be an UNFAIR-ADVANTAGE (you could hear someone sneaking near you, for example) for the server that you play on. Please ask the Owner (or an Admin) of the server for permission.
