Make Indicator for Sprint/Sneak

With the 1.16 snapshots came the ability to, in accessibility settings, turn on the togglability of sprinting or sneaking. It feels as if there should be an indicator whether you have it on or not (other than noticing you're slow/fast).

Such things could be like what Bedrock has for sprinting, where in some corner of the screen is a preview of the player. alternatively, you could place icons next to the crosshair similarly to that of the sword for the weapon cooldown. This way, the player can easily see whether or not they are sneaking or sprinting and can whatever with that information accordingly.

You could also have an option similar to the attack indicator in video settings, whether to change it to the crosshair, another variant, or off in general.

    I second this!
    I have limited reach in my hands and the new accessibility feature to toggle sneak makes playing a lot easier for me.

    I find that especially when swimming, when using the sneak key to descend I find it difficult to determine if it's on or not and have a harder time navigating underwater because of that.

    Just having a 3D portrait like bedrock edition has or just an icon somewhere doesn't matter to me. As long as there is a clear indication that my sneak is on or off, I would be happy!
