Trailblazer

Trailblazer is a Fabric minecraft mod that changes blocks as they are walked on by players and mobs.
By default, the mod enables two trailblazing effects:
-
Dirt Trails. As players and zombies walk on grass blocks, the grass will change to dirt and then to paths...unless you're going barefoot or wearing boots enchanted with Feather Falling.
-
Firewalker Boots. If you're wearing Netherite Boots enchanted with Fire Protection and Frost Walker, Lava blocks will change to cobblestone as you walk on them.
Features
- Does NOT add any new blocks to your world.
- Does NOT have to be installed on the client
- Fully customizable. Change the default effects or create your own.
- Mobs and players can leave trails
- Trails can be enabled or disabled depending on boots/enchants being worn
- Change any block to any other block
- Can work with boots and enchants from any other mod.
