DatapacksJava
Fast Paths
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Fast Paths
A minimalist utility designed to give a functional purpose to your terraforming. In standard Minecraft, dirt paths are purely decorative; this project changes that by granting players a subtle, natural speed increase while walking on any Dirt Path block.
It bridges the gap between early-game exploration and late-game transport, incentivizing players to actually build road networks between their bases and villages.
Features
- Lightweight: Optimized to run smoothly as both a Mod and a Datapack.
- Immersive: No messy UI or complex mechanics—just walk on a path and feel the difference.
- Vanilla Friendly: Designed to feel like a feature Mojang forgot to add.
- Multiplayer: Full Multiplayer Support for Servers and LAN worlds
How It Works:
Walking On Paths gives you a speed boost, allowing you to sprint without losing hunger.
How to Install:
- Download the datapack and move it to your world datapack folder
