ReTrace

Fully client-sided.

ReTrace turns your own movement into a living breadcrumb trail back home. Instead of guessing a straight line through mountains, caves, walls, and builds, it remembers the route you actually traveled and guides you back with clean wireframes or vibrant floating orbs.

Whether you are exploring a cave network, pushing farther from base than you meant to, threading through portals, or trying to recover your way out of a giant build, ReTrace gives you a return path that feels readable, reliable, and satisfying to follow.

Why ReTrace Stands Out

Remembers the route you really walked instead of drawing a fake shortcut.
Helps even before a full path exists by switching to beacon-style guidance.
Handles portal and teleport-style route breaks with special gap guidance.
Lets you choose between atmospheric fancy orb trails and clean wireframe visuals.
Gives you a full in-game config screen with deep visual and behavior controls.
Keeps the experience readable, smooth, and easy to trust during long sessions.

Quick Start

Default keybind: H

Press H to start ReTrace at your current location and begin learning your route.
Press H again to reveal or hide the route while you explore.
Hold H to clear the current route and destination and start fresh.
If you want to mark a specific location instead of your current one, use /retrace sethere or /retrace set <x> <y> <z>.
Open the full config menu with /retrace config open.

ReTrace starts in Simple Mode by default, so it can quietly begin learning your path and then reveal it when you want it.

ReTrace records the path you actually take through the world and turns it into a reusable route. That means your way home follows your tunnels, turns, staircases, bridges, rooftops, cave entrances, and base hallways instead of pretending the world is flat and obstacle-free.

This makes a huge difference in places where normal waypoint mods stop being helpful:

cave systems with overlapping levels
forests and mountains with poor sightlines
sprawling bases with layered paths
improvised exploration routes that are hard to remember later

The result is guidance that feels familiar, because it is based on where you really went.

Once ReTrace has enough route memory, it solves a path back to your destination and presents it as a clean trail of nodes and connectors.

That trail is built to be easy to follow at a glance:

breadcrumbs are spaced for readability instead of clutter
the next important node is emphasized
the destination marker is clearly distinguished
guidance can auto-stop when you reach your destination

It feels like your world quietly drew a path home for you.

ReTrace still helps even before it has a learned route.

If you set a destination but have not recorded a usable path back to it yet, ReTrace switches into a beacon-style guidance mode. Instead of leaving you with nothing, it gives you a direct guidance chain toward the target so you can still orient yourself and start building route memory along the way.

This is especially useful when:

you just marked a fresh destination
you wandered too far before recording enough of a return path
you are trying to reconnect to a known place from a new angle

ReTrace is built for the moments where routes stop being physically continuous.

When your path crosses a portal or another abrupt transition, ReTrace can detect that gap and guide you through it instead of leaving a confusing break in the trail. While you move through those transitions, it can show special guide markers that help you reconnect to the route on the other side.

That means fewer "the trail just ended" moments and more "I know exactly where to go next."

ReTrace is not locked to one look.

You can use:

Fancy Mode for glowing XP-style orbs with rich color and motion
Wireframe Mode for crisp, minimal path readability
Dual Render if you want both styles at the same time

Fancy Mode is especially satisfying when you want the route to feel alive instead of purely utilitarian. Breadcrumbs can feel like collectible trail lights, beacon paths stand out in warm guide colors, and the whole route becomes easier to read during fast movement.

If you prefer a cleaner technical look, wireframe mode gives you a precise breadcrumb path without visual noise.

ReTrace is designed to communicate clearly without getting in your way.

It includes:

a HUD for active route status
distance feedback for beacon guidance
audio cues for route actions
pickup-style feedback in fancy mode as you travel through breadcrumbs
clear visual emphasis for important route points

The goal is simple: you should be able to feel when the route is helping without constantly stopping to study it.

ReTrace is highly configurable, and you do not need to leave the game to tune it.

Open the config menu with:

/retrace config open

From there you can adjust major categories like:

input behavior
route recording sensitivity
routing behavior
rendering style
fancy orb visuals
HUD options
solver behavior

That means you can dial ReTrace toward exactly the experience you want:

subtle and minimal
bright and cinematic
precise and technical
soft and readable for long exploration sessions

ReTrace can be used almost entirely from gameplay flow, but commands are there when you want direct control.

The fastest way to use ReTrace is still the default keybind:

H Start, reveal, hide, or hold-to-clear depending on your current state.
/retrace sethere
Mark your current position as the destination.
/retrace set <x> <y> <z>
Set a specific destination by coordinates.
/retrace toggle
Start or toggle route visibility depending on your current state.
/retrace show
Force the route to become visible.
/retrace hide
Hide the route without clearing it.
/retrace clear
Wipe the current route and destination.
/retrace status
Show the current route state, including whether guidance is active.
/retrace config open
Open the full config screen.
