Footsteps is a mod for Bukkit that makes use of an unused particle effect in the Minecraft code to produce footsteps onto blocks while you are walking. This will help to add a new level of immersion to your server. Other players that are near you will see your footsteps as well!






The defaults are set to sand and dirt, but you can configure this to work with any type of block. If you wish to add blocks that get footsteps, just add its type ID to the list in the supplied config file.

/footsteps reload - Reload the configuration file.



footsteps.reload - Allows the use of **/footsteps reload**.Thanks for looking!

Looks very cool, I'll have to try it.

Very clever, does it work on just sand or other blocks?

It comes with a configuration file that enables it for dirt and sand by default. You can add any block ID to this configuration file to have it active for other blocks though.

Cool! What unused particles did you use if you don't mind me asking?

This looks absolutely genius. I don't understand why this just isn't in vanilla.

Add clay and soul sand to the default config.

do the footsteps decay over time? if not could get bad on servers

i keep getting this error. help

do the footsteps decay over time? if not could get bad on servers

Seconding this question. I don't have a 1.5.2 to test it on at the moment.

Quote from Charlazer

I'm pretty bad at installing things and I apologize for any further questions but is this a client side mod? I know it says a plugin but what exactly is it (can it be used for SSP) and how do you install it?

You will need to use version 1.5.2 of Bukkit or Spigot for this to work correctly. Just unzip the file into your plugins directory and start your server up and it should be good to go.

The footprints last a few seconds and then disappear. They're behaving like any other particle effect you would find in the game.

Quote from Lemedli

So this is basically like the footstep effect from Galacticraft, only everywhere?

Similar from what I understand, but these don't last forever and this is a server side mod.

Quote from DarkHax

@OP Nice job, Something you may want to look into is a video or mod review that could show how the mod mechanics work.

I would love to, but I don't know much about how to do videos honestly

That's my version of Bukkit. I've tried several development builds and the beta build i get the error with all of them.

Sorry, it looks like I was using R0.2 snapshot.. if you can't upgrade to this or it still gives you errors, I can compile at a lower version if you need. Just PM me with the details.

Maybe make a client side version that would be nice

You need to update your server to Java 7 or request the OP if he could compile the plugin with Java 6.

(At least this is what I think, and PetitionPlugin gave me the same error before I updated to Java 7.)

Thank you so much! this fixed my problem!

Hey dude, the new pmc server is using this plugin!

Can you modify the decay time for the footsteps? Can it be configured differently for different types of blocks, if weather is present, et cetera?

Can you also use this on SSP?

If it doesn't, can you make a version for Singleplayer?

I'd LOVE to have this mod on SSP.
