🗺️ Path Sharing (Trailblazer)

Never get lost again. Record your journey, share your trails.

Trailblazer is a Minecraft mod and server plugin for recording, visualizing, and sharing actual player movement paths. Instead of just sharing coordinates or placing countless waypoints, now you can literally record the raw path trail you walked and share it with other players. Perfect for:

🕳️ Navigating complex cave systems
🌲 Threading through dense forests to hidden bases
🏰 Guiding friends to your builds
🗺️ Creating tour routes for your server

Note (Important): This project only has the Server side version. You get whole Server side + Client expearence. You can get this Client side mod downloaded too: Trailblazer client mod
