Talk:Sneaking

I find that sneaking can be incredibly helpful when making bridges or peering over ledges. To quickly make an efficient bridge, simply hold the shift key and walk backwards while looking down. Has anyone else found any other helpful uses?

-The only other thing I can think of is Notch reducing the mob detection radius drastically while sneaking in the future... :P      -Dannydork

I've noticed, (in patch 1.1.2 at least) after you come out of sneak mode, all the sounds for the steps that you took that didn't play, get played back all at once.

Shift F
The reverse fog rendering order doesn't really fit on this page. Can someone find a better location and sneak (ahah, pun!) it into that page instead? --XipXoom 17:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe we should make a Fog Article? I can't seem to find a page like that. --Fishrock123 12:00, 12 November 2010 (CST)

Not stomping crops in SMP
When I sneak in SMP, my crops still flatten and die. Is this normal? I believe it still happens with the current version. Zaybertamer 04:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Tested it.
actually, while sneaking, youre not 1.5 meters tall. if you were, you could crawl under a 1.5 block small hole, witch I tested and doesnt work. i say youre 1.6 when sneaking.
 * You are 1.76 metres tall when sneaking, if your hitbox changed and assuming you get lowered exactly 1/8th of a block. --HexZyle 06:05, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

How slow?
About How Slow does sneaking make you move? or rather, what is the speed reduction, compared to the normal walking speed? Jarwain 17:36, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Talked to Notch today about an idea
Notch joined a server that i was on....and i asked if he could possibly make it so hitting the sneak button would turn it on and off....instead of just holding it. and he said he might have jeb do that...  so it might be a future feature... :)  maybe an option to make it both ways for people who like holding it down instead?Silverfox6000 03:04, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
