Once Upon A Stroll
makes paths while you walk
About this Mod
Description
When you walk the ground changes beneath your feet. Grass to dirt to path to gravel to stone to stone bricks. Paths for players is on by default, paths for mobs is off by default for lag reasons. The weighting range and the individual weights can be controlled with the config for both players and mobs. In the video below fullPaths are enabled which allow for a permanent path to generate otherwise grass just turns to dirt and nothing else.
