## Examples

Travel 1000 metres:

``` yaml
walking:
  type: "walking"
  distance: 1000                        # distance in blocks travelled
  worlds:                               # (OPTIONAL) restrict to certain worlds
   - "world"
```

Travel 1000 metres by sprinting only:

``` yaml
walking:
  type: "walking"
  distance: 1000                        # distance in blocks travelled
  mode: running                         # (OPTIONAL) specific mode of transport
  worlds:                               # (OPTIONAL) restrict to certain worlds
   - "world"
```
