Informal "desire paths" can form with as few as fifteen traversals of an unpaved route, creating spontaneous new trails shaped by pedestrians effectively voting with their feet. These paths frequently become self-reinforcing: others intuit the potential advantages of a newly-forming route and follow it, thus eroding it further and enhancing its visibility. - 99% Invisible

This is a small plugin that brings that mechanic to your world. As you trace the same paths over and over, the blocks will slowly change beneath your feet. First from grass/dirt/podzol/mycelium to coarse dirt. Then from coarse dirt to path blocks.

You can also elect to let the path blocks wear away into cobblestone slabs.

Riding mobs can have more of an effect as well: horses and camels have rather heavy steps that will wear paths faster.

Maybe you're using this to plan infrastructure. Maybe you want the extra mechanic of having to maintain your paths.

Happy trails!

(I've made a Fabric port that is available here)
