✨ Features

Tracking Modes

  • Steps Mode – Keep your last N footsteps (default: 50, max: 500)

  • Stealth Mode – Automatically disables footstep tracking and rendering while sneaking/crouching (default: enabled)

Placement Modes

  • Ground Only (default) – Markers only on solid ground
  • Continuous – Track everywhere, even in air/water

Marker Shapes

  • Realistic (default) – Surface aware procedural footprints that dynamically adapt shape, depth, and scuffs per block type (sand, snow, dirt, stone, etc.)
  • Square – Simple flat square
  • Circle – Smooth circular marker
  • Paw – Paw print with toe pads
  • Cross – Plus shaped marker

Customization

  • Colors: White, Gray, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow (ignored in Realistic mode, block colors are sampled automatically)

  • Opacity: Adjustable from 0.05 to 1.0
  • Rotation Alignment: Rotates markers to match the player's looking (yaw) direction (default: enabled)
