Swift Sneak should be an enchant unique to leggings, for these reasons:
1. It's not overpowered when combined with the other boot enchantments. The enchants can't synergize in an overpowered way because sprinting exists, and there's not much water or soul sand in the ancient cities. Most enchantment exclusivity makes sense in the game, but this simply seems to be here to kill fun, as it's not overpowered in any means.
2. Leggings are sorely in need of unique content. Helmets have 2 unique enchants, boots already have 4, and the chestplate has naturally-enchantable thorns and is the slot used for the elytra. The leggings have nothing to their name, give them something.
3. Boots are already overloaded with enchants. More enchantments are always great, but the amount of enchantments boots can have compared to all the other armor pieces is kind of ridiculous. In addition, because of the enchantment exclusivity with other boot enchants, completionists such as myself will be forced to max out yet another set of boots, to put alongside our depth strider and frost walker pairs.
I also want to mention that the enchant allows you to sprint while sneaking, which I agree, is absolutely overpowered, and could be used as a counterargument. However, first of all, is that even intentional? And second of all, that's a problem with the mechanics of the enchantment itself. Putting it on boots and making it exclusive doesn't solve the issue.
Love the update so far, great work guys.
