Flying and holding CTRL really close to the ground, emits walking particles

Confirmed for 15w51b, though I remember noticing it in previous versions as well. Also happens in spectator mode while inside blocks. Sprint particles generate as long as you're 0.2 blocks and lower from the surface of the ground.

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.

Confirmed for 1.12-pre7

Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.
Related to MC-46417

The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.12 using MCP 9.40pre-1.

This happens because the class net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer doesn't override the method net.minecraft.entity.Entity.spawnRunningParticles(), which means the game doesn't check if the player is on the ground (it only checks if the player is sprinting and if the player isn't in water) before it spawns running particles.

Suggested fix: net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer

@Override
public void spawnRunningParticles() {
	if(this.onGround) {
		super.spawnRunningParticles();
	}
}

This is basically just an improved version of the fix posted here as it fixes both MC-46417 and MC-94535 because the field net.minecraft.entity.Entity.onGround will always be false if the player is in spectator mode.
