Speedy Paths
by CooledBeans
Speed Paths lets players walk faster on dirt paths and on polished blocks, concrete and most brick types, once a path has been placed.
What it does
Placing blocks directly below another block creates a path that grants a speed bonus when walked on. The bonus stacks with other speed effects, including potion effects and ridden mobs.
Installation needs the mod on the server, while players may add it as well. The data pack can be used on vanilla servers and multiplayer servers. Speed Paths is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Speed bonus on paths
Walking on a path increases movement speed, with the default bonus set to 15 percent.
Configurable bonus
The amount of the speed bonus can be changed, and the config menu opens in chat.
Data pack option
A data pack can enable or disable the paths, so servers can run the feature without installing the mod.
