Created by	Sparks
Last Updated by	SpecialBuilder32 and Misode

This module causes player movement to form natural paths.

Features

Players walking or sprinting will randomly trample blocks. The trampling effect will only happen if the player is moving. Slow falling, moving slowly will reduce the effect, 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.
