Happy Trails rewards and encourages path and road building.

Happy Trails allows the server operator (or single player) to make player movement faster or slower on/in blocks like grass paths, stone brick blocks, grass, tall grass, water, and most other blocks.

Happy Trails also allows the server operator (or single player) to configure player and steed movement to be faster or slower on or in blocks (so solid or non-solid blocks except kinds of air).

Happy Trails supports both potion effects and movement attribute modifiers.

Happy Trails can also modify speed in non-solid blocks- including liquids so you can make players slower or faster in water if it suits your world.

Happy Trails movement attribute modifiers stack with attribute modifiers from other mods and gear.

Happy trails to you, until we... mine... again.

Horse not included...

Ready to Play Default Settings!

No configuration needed!  By default, you can move faster by making grass paths (Speed 22), stone brick roads (Speed 33), and slower in sand (Slow -11).

On the other hand, Happy Trails has powerful, easy configuration system for Server Operators, Mod makers, and Mapmakers. 

Building roads and paths are productive and rewarding!

And traveling thru dense undergrowth will slow the player down.

Player steeds are supported.  Any modded steed based on "LivingEntity" should work!

Single Player & Server Side Mod

1.14.41.15.2, 1.16.1, 1.17.1, 1.18.1
This mod is only required on the server.  This includes single player games of course.  On Servers, clients without it will see a red "X" but will load fine and still get the movement bonuses when on paths of configured blocks.  

1.12.2
There is a "server only" version which doesn't need to be on the client (in the "files" section) but it will not load in single player local mode.   The default 1.12.2 download will load in single player local mode and must be on both server and client.  When playing on a server- the client copy is ignored and the server copy controls movement.

Debugging Levels

There are three debugging levels to help develop modpacks and values: 

  • 0 = Off,  No debugging information will be displayed.  (default value)
  • 1 = Logged,  Debugging information will be added to the text log file.
  • 2 = Chat, Debugging information will be sent to the Chat screen and added to the text log file.

Note: as of 04/07/2020 there is a few more debugging statements to add.

Commands

Requires Operator Level or local Creative.

/happytrails info 

  • Tells you about the block you are standing on and the debugging level.

Current Values

  • Standing On...........: minecraft:grass_path>0
  • Speed Level...........: 1
  • Player Position.......:  PosX(173) PosY(67) PosZ(1034)
  • Debug Level...........: 0

/happytrails report (version 1.18.1)

Prints a report of all configured blocks in chat like this one.

"minecraft:cut_copper_slab,22;minecraft:tall_grass,-30;minecraft:exposed_cut_copper_slab,33;minecraft:fern,-22;minecraft:grass,-22;minecraft:diamond_block,99;minecraft:water,11;minecraft:dirt_path,11;minecraft:stone_brick_slab,33;minecraft:weathered_cut_copper_slab,44;minecraft:stone_bricks,33;minecraft:large_fern,-30;minecraft:sand,-22;";

/happytrails setHappyTrailsSpeed (-99 to -11, -10 to -1, 0 , 1 to 10, 11 to 99)

  • Allows you to configure block speed modifiers from within the game.
  • Updates or Adds the block you are standing on to the configuration file with desired speed.
  • Speed 0 removes the block and returns it to default speed.
  • Speeds -10 to 10 use potion effects. They last about a second after leaving the block.  Speed 10 is much faster ("plaid" speed).  Players don't move at -7 to -10 except by jumping.
  • Speeds -99 to -11 slow the player down by changing the player attribute: "movement speed".  .  -11 is a little slower.  -99 is very slow  (about 1/100th as fast).
  • Speeds 11 to 99 speed the player up by changing the player attribute: "movement speed".  11 is a little faster. 99 is a lot faster (about 20x faster).

/happytrails particlesOn [true]

  • Lets you control whether speed and slowness particles display (true) or do not display (false) when using potion effects.
  • Thanks, Partonetrain for this suggestion!

/happytrails debugLevel 0,1,2

  • Sets the debugging level.   0 is no debugging.  1 is some debugging info in the log.  2 is maximum debugging info in the log.  In some mods, also in chat.

Key Difference Between 1.12.2 vs later versions.

  • The block key in 1.12.2 ends with ">#" where "#" is the 'meta' data for a block.   The "info" report shows this value and the "set" command automatically handles this for you.

For example,

  • "minecraft:grass_path>0,1"  (v1.12.2)
  • "minecraft:grass_path,1"    (v1.15.2)

For a better example.

  • "minecraft:stone_slab>5,2"         (v1.12.2)
  • "minecraft:strone_brick_slab,2"   (v1.15.2)

Versions:
NOTE THERE ARE TWO 1.12.2 VERSIONS.

Single Player / Client / Server version 1.0.0.5 - This version will work in both single player worlds and when used in a client/server setting but must be loaded on both the client and the server.

SERVER Only version 1.0.0.4 - This will not work for single player and does not require clients to have Happy Trails loaded to work.  It works if it is on the server only.  It will also work if the clients have various versions of happy trails on their clients but it will ignore them while they are connected.

Modpack Permission

You have permission to use Happy Trails in modpacks.   Please drop a comment below when you publish it and have it running somewhere.  I'd love to see Happy Trails in play and building brick roads, bridges, and grass path networks because they provide real benefits as they do in real life!

FAQ

Q: Where is the configuration file?

A: Starting with 1.14.4, Forge now saves configuration files as "toml" files in the folder : "saves/Worldname/serverconfigurations/<modname>.toml". 

Q: How do I save one configuration for all worlds?

A: Save a copy of your desired configuration in the "defaultconfigs" folder.  When you create a new world, Forge copies from there first before asking a mod to create a default configuration file.

SPECIAL NOTE: Forge changed the way command line /commands are registered as of 32.0.67.

 use Happy Trails Version 1.16.1 v1.0.0.2 for Forge versions 32.0.24 to 32.0.66 

 use Happy Trails Version 1.16.1 v1.0.98.6 for Forge versions 32.0.67 to 32.0.98 (and hopefully higher!).
