👣 Footsteps Trail

A lightweight client side mod that displays fading footstep markers behind you as you explore. Whether you're delving into caves, navigating forests, or mapping new areas, your trail will guide you back.


(Outdated video. Doesn't Show realistic Footsteps. Please check preview images)

✨ Features

Tracking Modes

  • Steps Mode – Keep your last N footsteps (default: 50, max: 500)
  • Time Mode – Footsteps fade after a set duration (default: 30s, max: 300s)
  • Stealth Mode – Automatically disables footstep tracking and rendering while sneaking/crouching (default: enabled)
  • Stride Adjustment – Stride length is automatically factored in: sprinting increases the minimum distance between steps by 50% to reflect larger strides

Placement Modes

  • Ground Only (default) – Markers only on solid ground
  • Continuous – Track everywhere, even in air/water

Marker Shapes

  • Realistic (default) – Surface aware procedural footprints that dynamically adapt shape, depth, and scuffs per block type (sand, snow, dirt, stone, etc.)
  • Square – Simple flat square
  • Circle – Smooth circular marker
  • Paw – Paw print with toe pads
  • Cross – Plus shaped marker

Customization

  • Colors: White, Gray, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow (ignored in Realistic mode, block colors are sampled automatically)
  • Size: Adjustable from 0.05 to 2.0
  • Opacity: Adjustable from 0.05 to 1.0
  • Rotation Alignment: Rotates markers to match the player's looking (yaw) direction (default: enabled)
  • Alternating Feet: Offsets consecutive footsteps to the left and right alternately to simulate realistic walking (default: enabled)
  • Note: Custom shapes and manual colors only apply when Realistic mode is disabled.
  • Quick toggle with B key
