Features

Players walking or sprinting will randomly trample blocks. The trampling effect will only happen if the player is moving. Moving slowly will reduce the effect; Slow falling, sneaking, or walking while drawing a bow will remove the effect completely.

Grass blocks can convert to dirt blocks. Dirt blocks can convert to coarse dirt blocks. 2-deep snow layers can be trampled to 1-deep layers, which can be destroyed completely by the trampling effect. Flowers, 2-high flowers, grass, and mushrooms can also break if stepped on. Below is a list of all blocks that can be trampled.
