✨ 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
