    That's a nice idea! ♥



    hmm... makes me wonder:

    Does it work / counts for players only, or anything that walks, incl. mobs/monsters?

    This data pack is nice, but I would like an option to reduce the amount of time taken for a block to degrade. Currently, you can turn a grass block into a grass path by standing on it for about 15 seconds. Additionally, floating above a block in Creative mode is erroneously considered as standing on it as long as your Y level rounded down is the same as it would be if you were actually standing on it.

    In the update log you wrote "1.18.3" instead of "1.18.2".
    PD: Will you update to 1.19?
