Trailblazer (Path Recording)
by Mod_MC
Record, visualize, and share your actual movement paths with other players. Perfect for navigating caves, guiding friends to your base, or creating routes. Works as a Fabric mod, server plugin, or both together for the full experience.
๐บ๏ธ Path Sharing (Trailblazer)
Never get lost again. Record your journey, share your trails.
Trailblazer is a Minecraft mod and server plugin for recording, visualizing, and sharing actual player movement paths. Instead of just sharing coordinates or placing countless waypoints, now you can literally record the raw path trail you walked and share it with other players. Perfect for:
- ๐ณ๏ธ Navigating complex cave systems
- ๐ฒ Threading through dense forests to hidden bases
- ๐ฐ Guiding friends to your builds
- ๐บ๏ธ Creating tour routes for your server
Note (Important): This project only has the Client side version. You get whole Server side + Client expearence. You can get this Server side plugin downloaded too: Trailblazer client mod
