Alive | Desire Paths

by Ghostcrafter090

Alive | Desire Paths lets walking entities wear dirt paths into the ground where they repeatedly travel.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19.4 – 26.3

What it does

Entities that move on foot, even those that are not tile entities, can leave worn desire paths in the dirt they cross, according to Alive | Desire Paths. Paths wear faster depending on a player's vertical motion and effects, and ice can randomly break under feet. Each worn layer is one layer thick.

Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The first release was published on 2026-08-03 and the latest update on 2026-10-13.

Key features

  1. Entity path wear

    Walking entities, including non-tile entities, wear dirt into desire paths where they move.

  2. Motion-based wear rate

    Paths wear faster depending on a player's vertical motion and status effects.

  3. Ice breakage

    Ice can randomly break under the feet of walking entities, adding a small hazard to traveled routes.

  4. Config options

    A configuration implementation is included, though the author notes that the setup is a work in progress.

Questions

Does Alive | Desire Paths need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Which loaders are supported?

Fabric, Forge and NeoForge all have files. The latest Fabric file is 1.68.0 for 26.2, and the latest Forge and NeoForge files are 1.68.0 for 1.20.1 and 26.3.

Can worlds from earlier builds be used?

The author notes that issues and oddities may appear in ported backup worlds, so a backup should be kept before loading an older save.
