Special Boots
by bobwizley
Special Boots changes how boots interact with the ground: three new enchantments can be placed on boots to alter what the wearer tramples.
What it does
Two new enchantments, Heavyfoot and Lightfoot, apply to boots and are single-level only. While a player wears enchanted boots, the effects trigger automatically during movement. Heavyfoot turns the grass and dirt paths under the player's steps into plain dirt, and clears flowers, bushes, short and tall grass, ferns, dead shrubs and sweet berry plants within a small radius of the feet. Lightfoot prevents farmland from being trampled, so crops are not destroyed when a player jumps onto them. The mod uses only Minecraft enchantments for these effects and also creates dirt paths automatically, with no extra items. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Heavyfoot enchantment
Converts grass blocks and dirt paths beneath the feet and clears small plants in the area around the wearer.
Lightfoot enchantment
Jumping no longer tramples farmland, so the crops growing on it stay intact.
Automatic effects
Both enchantments take effect as soon as the player wears boots that carry them, with no action required.
