This article is about the effect increasing movement speed. For the effect that increases mining efficiency and attack speed, see Haste. For other methods of gaining movement speed, see Speed boost.

Speed

Sources	See § Causes
Particle	#33EBFF (electric blue)
Type	Positive

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

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.
