Speed is a status effect that causes entities to move faster on foot.

Effects

[edit | edit source]

Speed increases an entity's speed while walking or sprinting by +20% multiplied by the effect level. For slimes and magma cubes, the effect causes them to jump farther.

Speed expands an affected player's field of view (FOV).

Negative levels of Speed, which can only be obtained through commands, cause entities to move more slowly, similar to Slowness.
