Traveled Tracks
by Brickyboy
Traveled Tracks is a Forge mod that makes trackwork wheels and tracks affect terrain the way a mounted or unmounted player does, for use alongside Trackwork and Roads More Traveled.
What it does
Traveled Tracks is written as an add-on for the Roads More Traveled (TRMT) mod, and it requires Trackwork. Its purpose is compatibility: vehicles built with Trackwork leave wear on the ground in the same manner a player on a mount does when travelling the same route. Wheels are treated like an unmounted player, while tracks are treated like a mounted one, so heavier vehicles, comparable to a rider on a horse, are more likely to degrade the ground beneath them.
The default TRMT configuration means a player or vehicle that travels the same route many times will noticeably change the terrain. The mod is aimed at long-running worlds where players want roads shaped by their vehicles over time. Traveled Tracks is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Trackwork compatibility
Connects Trackwork vehicles to the terrain wear system of Roads More Traveled.
Wheels versus tracks
Wheels apply the unmounted player modifier, while tracks apply the mounted player modifier, so the two produce different wear.
Weight-based degradation
Heavier vehicles are more likely to degrade the ground they cross.
Repeated-route wear
Routes driven many times gradually reshape the terrain under default TRMT settings.

Use cases
Long-running vehicle worlds
Servers and single-player worlds where vehicles travel the same routes for a long time, so roads gradually form.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who already use Trackwork and Roads More Traveled and want vehicle traffic to shape the terrain.
How it compares
Trackwork is a separate Forge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 that is published under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so it is the base that Traveled Tracks depends on rather than an alternative to it. VS: Analog Warfare is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, also client and server, and it focuses on warfare rather than terrain wear. Trackwok port is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 under the MIT License, which does not cover the 1.20.1 files that Traveled Tracks targets.
