Pathing The Way

by Mrbysco

Pathing The Way lets players turn blocks into other blocks by right-clicking them with a tool, once the conversions are set up in the config.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 26.1.1

What it does

A tool in hand, right-clicking a block changes it into the block set for that tool in the config. Shovels make path blocks, pickaxes chisel, axes strip and hoes till. Nothing is configured by default, so the conversions are empty until a server owner or player adds them.

Each conversion is written in a simple syntax that pairs a source block with a result, such as stone turning into stone stairs. The behavior needs the player to be sneaking when the click happens. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.16.5 – 26.1.1, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Tool-based block conversion

    Right-clicking a block with a shovel, pickaxe, axe or hoe changes it into a configured result block.

  2. Config-driven mappings

    Conversions are defined in the config file using a source and result pair, with none set up out of the box.

  3. Sneak-activated behavior

    Conversions trigger only while the player is sneaking, which keeps normal right-clicks unchanged.

Questions

Does Pathing The Way need to be installed on the server?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Are any block conversions included by default?

No. The config starts with nothing configured, so server owners or players must add the conversions they want.
