✨ What is FootstepsFX?
FootstepsFX brings your server to life: Players leave a configurable particle trail behind them as they run. Each player can customize the effect as they wish – from smoke and flames to hearts or musical notes.
🎮 Features
- ✅ Can be turned on/off per player
- ✅ Selection from many particle effects (flame, smoke, heart, note, ...)
- ✅ Adjustable intensity (1–100 particles per step)
- ✅ Lag-friendly: Effects only when changing blocks
- ✅ Storage in JSON: Settings are retained after restarts
- ✅ Easy to use with clear commands
🛠 Commands & permissions
- /trailon – activates the trail (permission: trail.use)
- /trailoff – deactivates the trail (permission: trail.use)
- /trailtype <effect> – sets the effect type (permission: trail.use)
- /trailintensity <1–100> – sets the amount per step (permission: trail.use)
- /trailtypelist – displays a list of all effects that can be selected (permission: trail.use)
⚙️ Configuration & storage
Script (volatile – only in RAM)
- {trail::%uuid of player%::enabled} → true/false
- {trail::%uuid of player%::type} → "flame", "smoke", etc.
- {trail::%uuid of player%::intensity} → number (default 8)
Java (persistent – permanently stored)
All player settings are automatically stored in plugins/FootstepsFX/footstepsfx_playerdata.json. Format (JSON structure): { “uuid of player”: { “enabled”: true/false, “effectType”: “effect name”, “intensity”: number }, [...] } The file is loaded at startup and saved when changed/stopped.
