?️ Path Tracer

See exactly where you've been. Path Tracer renders a real-time color heatmap overlay on the ground showing your most-traveled routes — no commands, no maps, just a live visual layer on your world. NEW: Explorer Mode shows a color coded path of your walking history – great for caving & complicated areas!

How It Works

Every block you walk on gets tracked. The more you travel over a spot, the hotter its color becomes:

Path Mode

• ? Green → lightly traveled
• ? Yellow → moderate use
• ? Orange → frequent path
• ? Red → heavily worn route

Tiles below your minimum threshold stay invisible, so only your real paths show up. Path Tracer records the block you're standing on plus the 8 surrounding blocks with each step, creating a natural-looking footprint rather than a single-block trail.

Explorer Mode

• ? Green → walked in the last 1 day
• ?? Cyan → walked yesterday
• ? Blue → walked 2 days ago
• ⚫️ Dark Grey → older paths

The path gradient can be adjusted from 1 - 14 days, stretching out the gradient progression. Dark Grey is always your oldest paths.

Features

• Live heatmap overlay — updates as you walk, no reload needed
• Fully configurable via Mod Menu — adjust min/max walk counts, render radius, and how long data persists
• Option to set Clear Area keybind (clears out paths within a radius of the player)
• Set keybinds to enable/disable (H), switch modes, & remove paths near you
• Ability to track movement for all loaded players in multiplayer (for building paths for shared builds)
• Client-side only — works on any server, no mod required server-side, no world modifications — purely visual.

Configuration (via Mod Menu)

Footprint Size: 1x1, 3x3, or 5x5

Min Walk Count: How many passes before a tile becomes visible

Max Walk Count: The count at which a tile reaches full red

Render Radius: How far from the player tiles are drawn (blocks)

Max Age: How many in-game days before old data fades out

Track Other Players: Ability to have other players create heatmap paths when in your loaded chunks (set to Off by default if it feels too cheaty).

Clear All Dimensions: Clear all paths across all dimensions.
