FootprintParticle
A simple mod that adds footprint particle for mobs.
Quick answer
Which FootprintParticle release should I use?
FootprintParticle 0.5.4-mc26.1 targets 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is FootprintParticle required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does FootprintParticle 0.5.4-mc26.1 need?
0.5.4-mc26.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, Cloth Config API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does FootprintParticle add?
I'm just confused that those particle mods have no footprint feature.
I can't find such one, so I made this one.

- More as you wish...

Custom Print Texture
1.Make a resourcepack and put your texture.pngs to the path below:
assets\footprintparticle\textures\particle\
2.Make a footprint.json or copy one from the mod.jar to your resourcepack path below (or watermark.json if you wanna replace watermark at same time):
assets\footprintparticle\particles\
3.Add your texture.pngs file name to the .json, formatting like:
{
"textures": [
"footprintparticle:footprint", // delete this line if you don't need default ugly print :)
"footprintparticle:texture1",
"footprintparticle:texture2",
"footprintparticle: ..." // remember last line NOT have comma (",")
]
}
4.Packing and install your pack into the game, enabled your resourcepack, then go to the config screen and edit the "Custom Print Texture" option as tooltip says:
minecraft:cat,texture1,texture2
minecraft:cow,texture1
modid:mobid,textureName
...
5.Enjoy!
Dependence
Since 0.3.1c we now support Forge & Fabric in a same jar, but dependence has some differ:
For all loader
- Architectury API is required.
- Cloth Config is required to manage config file & build configScreen.
Fabric extra needs
- Fabric API is required.
- Mod Menu is optional to access configScreen.
