Packed Dirt Path

About this Mod

Information

Tracks is a small Fabric mod that automatically creates natural walking paths by transforming grass blocks into dirt paths as players repeatedly walk over them.

Block wear: Each time you step on a grass block or dirt path, it increments a counter. After a set number of steps, grass becomes a dirt path, and dirt paths become packed dirt paths. Packed dirt paths can only be formed this way, by walking, never crafted or made with a hoe.

Speed boost: Walking on a packed dirt path gives you a small speed boost, so the roads you wear in actually pay off.

Step counter: Look at any grass or dirt path within 5 blocks to see the current step count for that block.

Sneak bypass: You can choose to have sneaking prevent step counts from increasing.

Commands

/tracks walktoggle: toggle the on-block step counter.

/tracks sneaktoggle: toggle sneak bypass on or off.

Configuration

Transformation (without Config-Change)

Edit config/tracks_config.json to change the step thresholds and the speed boost. With Mod Menu (and Cloth Config) installed, you can change all of it in-game from the mod's settings screen instead.

Requires Fabric API Mod Menu (optional) Cloth Config (optional)
