# 👣 Footsteps Trail

A lightweight client side mod that displays fading footstep markers behind you as you explore. Whether you're delving into caves, navigating forests, or mapping new areas, your trail will guide you back.

## ✨ Features

### Tracking Modes

Steps Mode – Keep your last N footsteps (default: 50, max: 500) Time Mode – Footsteps fade after a set duration (default: 30s, max: 300s) Stealth Mode – Automatically disables footstep tracking and rendering while sneaking/crouching (default: enabled) Stride Adjustment – Stride length is automatically factored in: sprinting increases the minimum distance between steps by 50% to reflect larger strides

### 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)_ Size: Adjustable from 0. 05 to 2. 0 Opacity: Adjustable from 0. 05 to 1. 0 Rotation Alignment: Rotates markers to match the player's looking (yaw) direction (default: enabled) Alternating Feet: Offsets consecutive footsteps to the left and right alternately to simulate realistic walking (default: enabled) _Note: Custom shapes and manual colors only apply when Realistic mode is disabled._ Quick toggle with `B` key
