TRMT: Reimagined (The Roads More Travelled)

TRMT Reimagined 0.9.217 - Minecraft 1.16.5, Fabric

The first release of this edition. Needs Fabric API and Cloth Config, plus Mod Menu if you want to reach the settings screen. Install on the server and on every client.

Everything the 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 editions do, this one does, by the same numbers and reading the same settings file. Where the game itself took away what a behaviour was built on, the manual says so rather than leaving you to find out.

Worn ground is drawn whatever renders it. This edition draws its squares through the Fabric rendering API, which is what Indium provides when Sodium is installed. A renderer that does not implement that API has no way to be told which square it is drawing, and until this release the answer in that case was nothing at all - which is a hole in the ground rather than a missing path, because the ghost replaces the ground in your client's copy of the world. It now draws the plain block instead. If you run Sodium, Indium is still the one to have: without it you will see ground rather than wear.

Three settings show their names. showErosion, overlayDistanceChunks and perSurfaceTextures carry human names, the translations shipped with the jar, and the settings screen never looked them up: they read "Show erosion" where the other two editions read "Show worn paths".

A log line can no longer grow without limit. Three messages handed a whole collection to the log, which on a large pack is a string long enough to exhaust the heap building it. This edition died that way at startup. They now print a sample and say how many it stood for.
