Using Prone for Tactical Movement and Roleplay

Crawl on Demand allows you to drop low instantly, which is ideal for roleplay scenarios—such as acting as a spy or soldier—or for staying out of sight behind low terrain.

Dropping Behind Low Cover

  • When approaching an area where you want to keep a low profile, press Left Alt to instantly transition from a sprint or walk into a crawl.
  • Because your height drops to match a one-block clearance, you can hide completely behind half-slabs, single-block barricades, or low earthen ridges that would otherwise reveal a standing player.
  • Advance toward your objective while crawling. You maintain full control over your facing direction and movement while remaining prone.

Applying Tactical Movement in Roleplay

  • Incorporate prone movement into stealth games, military drills, or adventure maps where team members need to breach tight vents or crawl beneath defensive fortifications.
  • When you need to resume standard movement or retreat quickly, tap Left Alt to return to your feet without waiting for block interactions or environmental triggers.
