Trails

by sootysplash

Trails draws vanilla particles behind a player as they move, and its appearance can be customized on the client only.

What it does

Trails spawns vanilla particle effects at the player's position while they walk, sprint or fly, leaving a visible path that the player configures. The effect is cosmetic and runs entirely on the client, so a server needs no installation and players can join without it. Only the player who installs the mod sees the trail.

Trails needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, all of which are required dependencies. The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker linked from its public page. Builds exist for Minecraft 1.19.4 – 1.20.4 on Fabric, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Customizable trails

    The particle type and look of the trail can be changed in the mod's settings, using vanilla particles.

  2. Movement-only spawning

    Particles are created only while the player moves, so the trail does not pile up in front of the face when standing still.

  3. Ping-based delay

    The spawn delay can be adjusted to match the player's connection latency, so the trail stays in step with the character.

What the author says

This mod provides a small cosmetic player trail, purely client sided. Which can be configured to be delayed based off of your ping (or any number you want!). Trails are only created when you move, to prevent any annoying particles continuously spawning in your face.
