Usage

Speed

Swift Sneak increases the player's speed while crouching by 15% per level. At Swift Sneak level 3, the player's crouch speed equals 75% of their normal walking speed. Swift Sneak 4 and 5 can further improve crouching speed, but the crouching speed can never be faster than the player's walking speed. Past Swift Sneak 4, the player can also sprint while they are already sneaking, even without the use of MC-152728.‌ The player can sprint while sneaking with Swift Sneak 3 by pressing sprint on Bedrock Edition.

This enchantment also increases the player's movement speed while they are crawling.

Swift Sneak I	45%
Swift Sneak II	60%
