How it works

Trailblazer blesses Runic boots to leave a trail behind you. Hold the boots and right-click the potted torchflower at the centre of the lattice. The lattice decides the trail:

Lattice	Trail
Dirt path and magma	Dirt paths
Grass and four small flowers	Flowers of those kinds
Lit netherrack	Fire
Soul soil with soul fire	Soul fire

Each block the trail changes spends one charge. The trail always falls behind you, never in the space where you stand.

Good to know

• The flower trail needs four one-block flowers around the potted torchflower.
• Server owners can turn off any of the four lattices in the rune's file.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Trailblazer. Hold Runic gold, iron, chainmail, or copper boots while you wake the rune.

Items that take it: Copper Boots, Chainmail Boots, Iron Boots, and Golden Boots.

Conflicts with 7 other enchantments

Lock Zone, Lockpick, Personal Automation Designator, Scribe, Silkier Touch, Surveyor, Wraithstep

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/trailblazer.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

path-trail-enabled	true	Path Trail lattice (dirt path + magma).
flower-trail-enabled	true	Flower Trail lattice (grass + four small flowers).
fire-trail-enabled	true	Fire Trail lattice (netherrack with fire on top — the netherrack must be lit).
soul-fire-trail-enabled	true	Soul Fire Trail lattice (soul soil with soul fire on top).

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
charges-by-tier Charges granted per pattern Tier (1 = Tier 1 … 7 = Tier 7). Edit this table to override the baked default pool.	64	141	324	810	2106	5686	17058
