Mechanics

Sneaking helps accomplish a lot of things, such as walking on ledges without falling, preventing the player from falling off of blocks if stopped partway up a Ladder, etc. It can also be used to prevent a player`s username from being visible through blocks. However, when viewed up close, others can still see the username.

There are some negatives to sneaking. It causes a player to move 1.3⃂₠m/s, much slower than the normal 4.3⃂₠m/s. As mentioned above, walking near ledges without falling can only be done with sneaking, but it is still possible to step off a block onto an aadjacent surface only half a block lower, such as from a block to a slab, or down some stairs. Sneaking also affects a player`s reach distance.
