About this Mod
A simple Fabric client-side mod that adds a visible trail behind your player while you move.
This mod places small particles behind you as you walk, allowing you to see where you’ve been for a short amount of time.
The trail is temporary and will slowly disappear after a few seconds, making it useful for tracking movement without cluttering the world.
