🗺️ Path Tracer

See exactly where you've been. Path Tracer renders a real-time color heatmap overlay on the ground showing your most-traveled routes — no commands, no maps, just a live visual layer on your world.

How It Works

Every block you walk on gets tracked. The more you travel over a spot, the hotter its color becomes: 🟢 Green → lightly traveled 🟡 Yellow → moderate use 🟠 Orange → frequent path 🔴 Red → heavily worn route Tiles below your minimum threshold stay invisible, so only your real paths show up. Path Tracer records the block you're standing on plus the 8 surrounding blocks with each step, creating a natural-looking footprint rather than a single-block trail.
