Petition to Revert Toggle Sneak Change MC-163218

The ability to open containers while remaining crouched has been considered a feature by the community since Toggle Sneak was added back in 1.15. It has remained in the game for nearly 6 years, and in that time has become essential to some play styles. The feature is available to all players, so it's not an unfair advantage.

For instance, the Trapping community, who uses it to remain hidden while building traps underground in PVP scenarios. It's used for really just any PVP scenario where one would have to sneak around. Or even just to remain hidden in your secret base on your friends world.

This change retroactively nerfs this for seemingly no reason, it doesn't positively affect gameplay. Please don't implement this change.

    Honestly, i didn't even know this was a bug. About 1.5 years ago, i joined my friend's anarchy server. my bases were hidden, but my base was also near spawn (spawn had lots of community farms) so i always crouched and used the GUI at my base. fast forward to 1 month earlier, season 2 started and i discovered i couldn't sneak and use GUI anymore. so i had to move my base very far away which made it very inconvenient for me to use the community farms. and one time i was sneaking around my friend's base with invisibility and it ran out so i crouched and i wanted to get another invisibility potion from my inventory but i couldn't and i got caught and killed

    Personally, I think it would be even better if Mojang allows us to access menu's without even needing to activate toggle sneak on. It makes no sense to me why the player would need to be standing to open a barrel or chest.

    This is just another case of a "bug" that's over time become a feature, this needs to be reverted!

    They probably changed this because it isn’t in bedrock so to make Java and bedrock the same they removed it from java instead they should add it to bedrock

    I use Toggle Sneak a lot, and I can say that that feature of staying sneaked while in GUIs is helpful to me whether I'm in single player or multiplayer. Opening chests, crafting tables, or furnaces while staying sneaked is helpful if you don't want to be spotted by mobs quickly.

    REVERT IT PLEASE MOJANG I BEG YOU-

    It seems like a given that if you have sneak toggled, you won't stop sneaking until you toggle it off.

    Why does mojang target features like this?

    New idea mojang, allow sneaking and or other movement WHILE using GUIs. Maybe if it's just for sneaking the if you were already holding shift when you opened your inventory you'd simply stayshifting until you closed it (assuming you had let go of shift). This would also remove any sort of unfair advantage from either playstyle whist making the game BETTER instead of Worse.

    At this point it is just a feature, can’t give something to people for a few years, have them find a use for it, then call it a bug and take it away because you didn’t care to polish it in the first place.

    ive always loved this "bug", ive been using toggle sneak for a while now, so i can stay secret in my secret base. i know there are other options like potions of invisibility, but i dont want to brew potions of invisibility every 24 minutes.

    Not only PvP, trapping or secret base community uses this feature, it's also so helpful on single player mode to explore ancient cities, in fact is a useful and fair feature since ancient cities could be kinda hard for casual player and the "just hold on sneak mechanic" or  "simple toggle sneak" are not enough fair when you are in the deep dark
