Crawling

crawling would be a new movement like walking sprinting or sneaking

to crawl you double click shift to uncrawl just press shift again

while crawling you are 1 block tall so you can go under blocks

you go really slow while crawling slower than crouching

there would also be a new animation for crawling

    Yes, it doesn't make any sense that you can only crawl when you are in water, under a trapdoor or pushed down by a piston.

    I think this would be great with the new cave generation.  IRL caving often requires squeezing through tight spot, ie crawling, and I love the new more realistic caves that feature this.  Folk already often use this (with a trap door) when mining. This would make it more accessible, and not require constant trap door use, which is kind of unrealistic and breaks the immersive quality of the game. I'm sure this would be challenging to implement on the multiple platforms that Minecraft is available on.

    this would make an awesome addition to the cave update, as crawling in tight passages in caves is a very common feat. take it from a real-life caver. if this isn't already the case, they could then also add 1 block high passages in the caves, which could add a little more challenge to exploring the caves, as you have to search for new rooms and passages.

    It's will be a fun edition to caves and cliffs as there are small 1 block tall caves and you can crawl by Alt because it is the nearest key to sprint and shift which can be used easily

    You should add 3 stages of crouching stage 1 normal crouch stage 2 crouch and being able to go under 1 by 1/2 places stage 3 crawling you can go into 1 by 1 spaces you can access these by holding the crouch button

    Crawling is already a mechanic as of the 1.14 Village and Pillage Update.

    However, I agree with the idea of making crawling easier. Instead of relying on a whole other block, you could sprint+sneak in order to enter a crawling animation with a persistence like regular sneaking, i.e. when you stop holding sprint+sneak, you will continue to crawl if you are in a 1 block tall space, otherwise you will stand back up.
