Similar to #8, you should be able to transform paths with a decent amount of grass (state 1 to 3) into vanilla grass paths: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Grass_Path

Yes, but as far as I understand only for grass with sufficient grass level - but this has changed even in vanilla to also work on dirt blocks:
https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Dirt_Path#History

I would love it if this mod would also work that way - to allow changing all types of path states to a Dirt Path block with a shovel

Could there be a config option to always make this possible?
In vanilla minecraft you can also make path from dirt, not only grass - it's kinda annoying currency I have to remove and re-place auto-path blocks

ATM there is an option to transform path automatically to vanilla path block.

Thanks for reporting this !
