About this Mod

A Minecraft 1.8.9/1.12.2 mod that implements smooth sneaking animation that was removed since 1.8 and added again in 1.14.
This only adds visual effect and will not change your behavior at server, so it's not a cheat.

This is fully open source and you can find us on GitHub.

Issue reports are welcome.

Feel free to include in any modpack. :)
