Added crouching and block based friction

I think you should average the friction differently.

Also @ikabod-kee could you take a look at how these changes feel in-game?

I shall

It feels good, though there are some changes I would make.

1. The default friction should be lowered. Somewhere between 15 and 25 feels good. Reduce friction for smoother movement #553
2. There is a bug where being on the edge of a block will not count its friction.

I have no complaints about the crouching as of yet.

[ikabod-kee]

In fact, I love the sort of linear interpolation for crouching. Makes it feel very tactical.

[ikabod-kee]

Okay, I have found a complaint for crouching, let me record it

Crouching bug:
When being forced to crouch, but not pressing the crouch button, you cannot fall of ledges.

Additionally, you cannot go up half-blocks while crouching, which can be an issue.

Although maybe not, because jumping at the edge of it will snap you to its top

[ikabod-kee]

I found another bug. You can no longer fly forward and down at the same time.

Also friction affects the player in noclip when it shouldn't.

The player should be able to fit in these holes

Sorry if this is too much, but I also think that when airborne, the player's hitbox should shrink up as a simulation of real crouch jumping.

It would also prevent the strange bounce when crouching in mid-air

You should be able to step up slabs while crouching, especially since you can still walk down stairs while crouching.

The player's hitbox is exactly 1.5 blocks tall when crouching so thats probably what makes that very hard. Should i shrink it to something like 1.45?

Yes

The recent changes look good. Here's some remaining issues:

• Noclip bug
• Flying bug
• Airborne crouch
• Remove the spam from the logs (at some point)
• Perhaps make the player slip off of icy surfaces?

[ikabod-kee]

Let me check out these fixes 👍

[ikabod-kee]

Crouching while flying forwards is still broken. Still would also like crouch jumping to be added as it would add a layer of skill to movement.

[ikabod-kee]

Or, you know, crouch jumping

#926 (comment)

[ikabod-kee]

While the latest commit does fix the issue, I think it would feel better if the crouching hitbox shrank up when not grounded

[ikabod-kee]

Also, it would be nice if the player's speed during the crouching animation was also interpolated

[IntegratedQuantum]

It seems that I am slipping off of all blocks now.

[IntegratedQuantum]

Looks good now. Thanks for adding this!

Next time I'd prefer it if you would split PRs like this, I'd prefer to see a separate PR for each feature introduced, and here the features crouching and friction are pretty distinct.
