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

1. Press H to start ReTrace at your current location and begin learning your route.
2. Press H again to reveal or hide the route while you explore.
3. Hold H to clear the current route and destination and start fresh.
4. If you want to mark a specific location instead of your current one, use /retrace sethere or /retrace set <x> <y> <z>.
5. 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.

Route Memory That Learns Your World

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.

Smart Return Guidance

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.

Beacon Fallback When No Route Exists Yet

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

Portal And Teleport Gap Guidance

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."

Fancy Orb Trails Or Classic Wireframes

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.

Readable Feedback While You Move

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.

Deep In-Game Customization

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

Useful Commands

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.

Who ReTrace Is For

ReTrace shines for players who:

• get absorbed in exploration and forget the way back
• build large or layered bases
• spend time underground, in forests, or in rough terrain
• want guidance that feels immersive instead of map-like
• like route tools they can fine-tune to their own playstyle

If you have ever said "I know my base is somewhere over there" and then lost twenty minutes wandering, ReTrace was made for you.

TL;DR

ReTrace learns the path you actually traveled and turns it into a smart, customizable trail home.
