I think I mildly preferred the previous mode, myself, but largely it hasn't been a problem for me. What I'd really appreciate is the player model being considered slightly narrower (but NOT the hitboxes, please. They're buggy enough as it is). Even when crouching, it's nearly if not totally impossible to fall into a one-block hole in the ground.

I'd also like some way to prevent yourself from falling over edges of more than one or two blocks (for bridge-building purposes). Yes, I know, this isn't Minecraft, but I can't see how adding this feature will suddenly cause creepers to spawn or upset the balance of this game. Unforunately, crouching won't work for this prupose if the autclimb goes back to the 0.51 method, but with the current method crouching would work fine.

Wth Kaede cobra Taka Taka...

WTF IS THAT VIDEO

In that situation it would be lifesaving. Also I sometimes climbed on the cover and got killed because of the auto-climb but I wasn't looking down so...

@FAT-IDIOT

same here. I didn't find it a problem, that i had to crouch to get into a hole in the ground (now i just have to look at it).
Maybe it can be useful when you walk against a 1 high wall on a top of a tower, sniping the ones below - this way in .51 you could accidentally fall down, in .52 you don't). But who would do that anyway.

I do not have any problems with it (EDIT: yet) now but I don't see how this is an improvement over the .51 auto-climb.

Yeah I was kind of thinking it was different, but I wasn't sure. Walking up stairs that were dug with a shovel is a fucking pain in the ass.

I don't like it. I can't run backwards and look down a hill at the same time anymore. Falling feels a little weird now too, just can't explain how. Autoclimb in .51 was perfect, can we go back to that?
