Footpaths: Creates Paths Where You Walk!
by ronidas
Footpaths: Creates Paths Where You Walk! turns ground that gets walked on often into a natural path over time, for a Forge world on 1.20.1.
What it does
Footpaths creates natural paths where walk often, so a route used again and again slowly changes from grass into a trail. The original idea came from kieranvs' Footpaths, an earlier version of the mod, and this version brings the same grass-to-path gradual formation to 1.20.1. Paths wear down through repeated movement by players, jumps and animals, which gives worn, organic trails rather than fixed roads. The change builds up over time instead of happening at once.
The mod is published for Forge only, with a single 1.0 build for 1.20.1 on the beta channel, released 2026-04-11. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is under the MIT License and the project is not open source.
