Lapis Trails

🟦 Lapis Trails

LapisTrail enables players to create chalk with 4 lapis, which can be used on the ground to create directional ground markers that help players navigate caves. Arrows blend into the world like a natural vanilla feature.

🎨 Recolor with Any Dye

Right-click an arrow with any vanilla dye to instantly swap it to one of 16 colors.

💡 Light Up Your Path

Use Glowstone Dust, Glow Ink Sacs, or Glow Berries to make an arrow emit a subtle light (level 8—about half a torch). Great for marking spots in deep cave systems.

🔊 Immersive Sound Design

Placing, recoloring, and lighting arrows plays a soft bamboo-sapling hit sound.

Breaking arrows plays the rooted-dirt break sound.

🧱 Smart Placement Rules

Must be placed on the top of full blocks

Cannot float, cannot attach to walls

Automatically breaks if its supporting block is removed

Only 1 pixel tall—clean and unobtrusive
