This mod creates a trample path with slightly lowered nodes. You can create a path by patting the nodes with the shovel (rightclick) or optionally by walking over.

You can create path on dirt, sand, gravel and snow. Plants like grass, flowers and mushrooms have to trampled down first.

I like it!
Does grass grow on the path, so dirt_with_grass path? I hope not.
On the right I can see a gravel path, is it made out of gravel and shovel? You didn't write anything about it.

no, grass doesn't grow on the dirt.

This mod isn't finished yet. I think about adding a trample path in sand too. And I think all path will be made with the shovel.

I also think about to optionally create the trample path automatically. Every time you walk over a node a counter is incremented and after a while a path appears

so cool! +1

My plan is, that dirt with grass is converted to normal dirt first and if you don't walk over the same node for a while it will be covered with grass again. If you walk over dirt it will be converted to the trample path. Maybe I change the texture for that

First release. Link in the first post

Trample path now generated by walking. Video at first post

Suggestions for improvements are welcome

Cool, nice mod

Now you have to trample down grass, flowers and mushrooms first and you can disable the function to trample down everything by walking over

I made a change to this. Dirt with grass will be converted to regular dirt first, so there is a chance that grass will grow over again.

You also have to trample down grass or flowers first, so there is a chance that grass or flowers spread over again.

I think about to add long running node timer to cover trample paths again with grass and unused paths will disappear over time. But this will be optional.

It is also easy to add support for mods and I would be happy if someone can test this on a server for me. Multiplayer should be supported

can we have a transition node somethin like 'dirt with step' ?

default:dirt is a transition node between dirt with grass and the trample path dirt. I tried the default footstep overlay, but that looks odd.

Any suggestion and contribution is welcome

You could use "default:dirt_with_grass_and_footsteps". Then you don't need to register a new node.

I tried that, but I think the footstep overlay looks strange and it only works works for dirt with grass, not for dry grass or other nodes

Released the mod in version 0.1. I think it is finished

i will fork it to make te node change to a dirt with step! thank you for contributing to minetest!

This is pretty cool!

If it looks good feel free to make a pull request

that's cool! i will try it. but question: so when i walk on grass of flowers, they will automatically disappear or be removed? or is that optional behavior? thanks!

In the init.lua file are some lines looking like this



You can remove them or comment them out with -- at the beginning of each line. But then you will have flowers over your trample path
