Footprint Particle Mod adds a touch of realism to the Minecraft world-now animals leave footprint particles as they walk. These appear as hoof-like marks on the ground.
The mod includes settings to customize:
- How long the footprints remain visible, and
- Which mobs can leave tracks.
It might seem like a small tweak, but it significantly enhances the game’s atmosphere. You can even track animals by following their footprints, adding a light hunting mechanic to your gameplay.
Features:
- Mobs and players generate footprints when walking on low-hardness blocks like dirt, sand, or snow.
- Baby mobs leave smaller prints, and special creatures like spiders and horses have custom footprint positions.
- Environmental effects:
- Waterprints appear after walking in water.
- Minecart sparks and boat trails (with different visuals for land and water).
- Swimming bubbles and dust clouds when walking on snow.
- You can tweak:
- Which mobs and blocks generate prints.
- Print size, lifetime, and frequency.
- Custom textures per mob using resource packs.
