FootstepsFX

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

1. /trailon – activates the trail (permission: trail.use)
2. /trailoff – deactivates the trail (permission: trail.use)
3. /trailtype – sets the effect type (permission: trail.use)
4. /trailintensity <1–100> – sets the amount per step (permission: trail.use)
5. /trailtypelist – displays a list of all effects that can be selected (permission: trail.use)

Configuration & storage

Script (volatile – only in RAM)

1. {trail::%uuid of player%::enabled} → true/false
2. {trail::%uuid of player%::type} → "flame", "smoke", etc.
3. {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.
