Trample Grass

Trample Grass is a lightweight NeoForge mod that tracks grass blocks recently stepped on by entities. When another entity steps onto a watched grass block before the watch expires, the block has a configurable chance to become a dirt path.

Failed conversion rolls still refresh the watch duration, so repeated traffic over the same area can gradually wear paths into grass.

Features

• Tracks grass blocks recently stepped on by entities.
• Gives later steps a configurable chance to turn watched grass into dirt paths.
• Works with players, mobs, and other entities with a footprint on the ground.

• Runs gameplay logic server-side.
