If a player is crouching and they:
open inventory by pressing “E”
open any other GUI, such as a chest, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, crafting table
open chat by pressing “T”
then the game will make them un-crouch while that menu is opened. When the menu is closed, the player goes back to crouching. This is a problem because if the player is on a ladder or a magma block or moving water or a whole plethora of other things, if they open their inventory they will be at risk of moving or falling or dying in some way. This is especially true in Hardcore worlds, where safety is obviously of the utmost importance.
