The Roads More Travelled [TRMT]

by milkucha

Players who walk the same routes again and again find those paths gradually wearing into the landscape in The Roads More Travelled, a world generation mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.19.2 – 26.1.2

What it does

Grass, dirt, sand, leaves and other vegetation blocks gain an erosion index each time a player steps on them, and neighbouring blocks take a fraction of that index too. Once a block passes its threshold it changes into the next eroded stage, with five eroded grass variants and three eroded dirt variants available.

Thresholds are drawn at random within a minimum and maximum range set for each block type, so the wear does not follow a fixed pattern. Erosion data is stored sparsely and only for blocks that were stepped on but have not yet transformed. If a block goes unused for a set number of Minecraft days, it slowly reverts to an earlier stage. Eroded blocks can be turned back into vanilla blocks with /trmt convert-to-vanilla on loaded chunks, and otherwise become air.

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, and the code is not open source but is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license. V-MOD - Villages requires it.

Key features

  1. Erosion on foot traffic

    Stepping on blocks builds up an erosion index that gradually changes the terrain under heavily used routes.

  2. Randomised thresholds

    Each block's erosion threshold is picked within a configured range, so paths wear in an organic, uneven way.

  3. Gradual de-erosion

    Blocks left unvisited for a configured number of days begin reverting to an earlier erosion stage.

  4. Configurable behaviour

    Erosion, de-erosion, the erodable vegetation list, thresholds, multipliers and timeouts can all be changed in the config file.

Use cases

Worn trails between villages

Routes that players travel often change over time, so the terrain records where people have been.

Who it’s for: Players who want their worlds to show the paths they have travelled, and server owners who want that effect on a shared world. Mount and leash movement also adds to the erosion index, according to the config options.

Questions

Does The Roads More Travelled need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Can the de-erosion effect be turned off?

Yes. The deErosion toggle in the config file disables it.

What happens to eroded blocks if the mod is removed?

Eroded blocks turn back into their vanilla forms through a server command, and any left unconverted become air.

What the author says

A dynamic terrain mod that adds a gradual erosion system to the game, slowly transforming the routes you travel more often through into beautiful and realistic (yet still vanilla-friendly!) looking paths. Make your world feel more immersive by etching the story of your explorations onto the landscape. Yes…
