—<\/p>\n
## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n
* **Smart Pathfinding** – Uses an optimized A* algorithm to find efficient paths around obstacles
\n* **Baritone-Style Long Distance Pathing** – Navigates as far as possible in loaded chunks, recalculates when new chunks load, and continues until the destination is reached
\n* **Visual Guidance** – Displays particle trails showing exactly where to walk
\n* **Safe Mode** – Optional fall protection to prevent dangerous drops
\n* **Allowed Materials** – Restrict navigation to specific block types (roads, paths, custom maps, etc.)
\n* **Smart Terrain Handling** – Uses climbables like ladders and vines. Without safeMode it may even perform parkour
\n* **Force Navigate** – Admins can start or stop navigation for other players
\n* **PAPI Support** – Built-in PlaceholderAPI placeholders for full scoreboard \/ UI integration
\n* **Performance Optimized** – Asynchronous pathfinding to prevent server lag
\n* **Customizable Directions** – Fully configurable direction strings<\/p>\n
