Speed Paths

by Nat's Projects

Speed Paths gives dirt paths a speed effect for players who walk on them, with the strength set by the server configuration.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution 4.01.21.2 – 26.3

What it does

Walking on a path block that Speed Paths has changed grants the speed effect, so routes a player travels often become faster to cross. The effect's strength depends on the server's configuration, and the goal of the mod is to give dirt paths a purpose beyond decoration. Speed Paths can be used in survival worlds, adventure maps and transport-focused builds on a server.

Speed Paths is required on the server. The client mod is optional, so players can join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across game versions 1.21.2 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included. It is not open source and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. Speed Paths x Macaw's Bridge requires it.

Key features

  1. Speed effect on paths

    Walking on a boosted path block applies a speed effect to the player for as long as they stay on it.

  2. Configurable strength

    The amount of speed comes from the configuration, so server owners decide how strong the boost is.

  3. Obtainable path blocks

    Players can obtain the speed walking path blocks in the 1.21.9 builds and place them to build routes.

  4. Data pack option

    A data pack version can be installed by dropping its zip file into the world's datapacks folder and reloading the world.

Use cases

Travel routes

A server can lay paths between a hub, a quarry and a farm so players reach each one faster.

Adventure maps

Map makers can use speed paths as a reward for following a route through a built world.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to give dirt paths a function, and players who build routes they travel often. Clients need nothing extra.
