About this Mod
Trails mod
This mod provides a small cosmetic player trail, purely client sided. Which can be configured to be delayed based off of your ping (or any number you want!).
Trails are only created when you move, to prevent any annoying particles continuously spawning in your face.

Trails server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Trails compatible with fabric?
Trails officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Trails – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Trails consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
