Trample Grass

Trample Grass is a lightweight NeoForge mod that tracks grass blocks recently stepped on by entities. When another entity steps onto a watched grass block before the watch expires, the block has a configurable chance to become a dirt path.

Failed conversion rolls still refresh the watch duration, so repeated traffic over the same area can gradually wear paths into grass.
