ShadowTrace

ShadowTrace is a specialized Minecraft mod that provides a unique capability to visualize information about removed blocks directly within the game world. It serves as a powerful moderation tool for server administrators, enabling them to track player ore mining activity and identify suspicious behavior patterns, including potential x-ray cheat usage.

Important note: ShadowTrace does not operate autonomously. For proper functionality, the corresponding ShadowTrace server plugin must be installed. This plugin handles all data queries and transmits information to the client through a specialized packet system. This approach ensures clear separation of responsibilities - the server manages data processing while the client handles visualization.

Key Features

• Viewing block mining history of other players
• Displaying exact coordinates of mined block locations
• Flexible search filtering by players and time intervals (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day)
• Three-dimensional visualization of removed blocks with colored outlines
• Each block type has its unique color for quick identification
• Simultaneously displays up to 300 blocks in a single search query
• Works with both online and offline players
• Efficient data transmission system using custom packets
• Opens management interface with the G key

Configuration File

You can customize the display colors for various blocks in the configuration file located at: .minecraft/config/shadowtrace. Each block can be assigned a color in hexadecimal format, allowing you to personalize the visual appearance according to your preferences.
