Trail Specific Settings

These are the settings in the "Your Trails" or the "Other's Trails" sections.

The "Your Trails" settings apply to your trails, and will be sent to other clients if the server has the mod/plugin. If the server doesn't have the mod, the other clients will see your trails as their "Other's Trails" setting.

These are what I would consider the "regular" trail specific settings. There are many more options to configure, but those are in the Advanced Trail Specific Settings section!

Enable Elytra Trail

Name in preset/config: "enableTrail", Default Value: true

This setting toggles YOUR trail specifically, unlike the one in general settings which disables all trails.

Enable Elytra Trails

Translucent Trails

Name in preset/config: "translucentTrails", Default Value: true

This settings determines whether or not your trails can have transparency. If trails look weird with shaders, try turning this off! Image below is using the "actionsandstuff" preset to show this more clearly.

Translucent Trails

Glowing Trails

Name in preset/config: "glowingTrails", Default Value: false

Whether or not your trails glow. Turn this ON if you are lagging, because this makes the trail render skip the lightmap calculations, which is the laggiest part of trail rendering!

Translucent Trails

Trail Width

Name in preset/config: "maxWidth", Default Value: 0.05

The width of the trail at its "maximum" width in blocks. (not counting other width-changing effects)

Max Width

Width Variation

Name in preset/config: "enableRandomWidth", Default Value: false

Determines whether the trail should variate its width based on perlin noise (seeded by position). The way this is coded makes it make the trail width slightly smaller. The gif below shows what it looks like with width 0.2

Random Width Variation

Trail Duration

Name in preset/config: "trailLifetime", Default Value: 2.5

How long a trail point should exist for before disappearing. Value is in seconds

Trail Duration

Speed Dependent Trail

Name in preset/config: "speedDependentTrail", Default Value: true

Determines whether the trail should only activate when the player is moving over a certain speed. This speed is defined in the "Minimum Speed For Trail" setting.

Speed Dependent Trail

Minimum Speed for Trail

Name in preset/config: "trailMinSpeed", Default Value: 0.8

What the minimum speed for trails to appear when "Speed Dependent Trails" is turned on.
