About this Mod
Overview
This is a very simple QoL mod, with one feature: players are capable of collecting item entities from under them while sneaking. This is meant to provide utility for breaking blocks while building.
Personally, I find this nice when dismantling temporary bridges and digging up irrigation lines.
Config
You can change the radius, depth, and height from which sneaking players can pick up item entities. By default, the radius is set to 3 blocks away, and the depth is set to 2 blocks (height is set to 0). All three values are capped at 8.0 to minimize potential lag.
Players also have the option to ignore an item entity's pickup delay (which would ordinarily prevent them from immediately picking up items that they just dropped) when sneaking.
The credit for this mod goes entirely to Zym!
Feel free to direct any suggestions and bugs to the issue tracker!

Server lagging with Sneaky Link – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Sneaky Link consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
