View source for Minecraft:Walking

[[File:Steve Walking.png|150px|right]]'''Walking''' is one of the fundamental methods of [[Minecraft:transportation]] in ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]'', allowing for a reasonable movement speed while avoiding the [[Minecraft:hunger]] impact of [[Minecraft:sprinting]], but without the fall safety of [[Minecraft:sneaking]].

== Performing ==
Walking is possible regardless of hunger level. A walking player can be obstructed by colliding with the hitbox of most [[Minecraft:block]]s and [[Minecraft:entities]]. A sufficiently high level of [[Minecraft:Slowness]] can prevent walking. Walking is not possible in [[Minecraft:Spectator mode]].

=== Keyboard ===
On a keyboard, pressing the assigned keys to move {{control|forward}}, {{control|backward}}, {{control|left}}, or {{control|right}} (W, S, A, and D, respectively) causes the player to walk. Two adjacent keys can be pressed simultaneously to walk in a diagonal direction, but opposite keys cancel out.

=== Controller ===
{{Exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
On a controller, walking is accomplished by moving the joystick in the appropriate direction. The player walks at an angle equal to the angle of the joystick relative to the direction the camera is facing. A D-pad can also be used for keyboard movement.

=== Touchscreen ===
{{Exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
On a touchscreen, a virtual touch-based D-pad or joystick can be used. There is a setting in Settings > Controls > Touch to change this.<!-- And for some reason it's not actually listed on the wiki?! -->

== Usage ==
Walking is the most accessible form of transportation in the game. The player should try to only walk when there is no food available, since walking does not expend hunger points. However, the player can still lose hunger points when jumping. When the player has six or less [[Minecraft:hunger]] points, the player can no longer [[Minecraft:sprint]] and can only walk, if traveling on land.
=== Speed ===
The default walking speed is 4.317 blocks per second, and {{in|JE}}, this can be directly changed by the {{attr|minecraft:movement_speed}} attribute (in which the default base value is 0.1{{more info|how to translate the attribute value to 4.317 blocks per second?}}). However, the speed can also be affected by several factors, such as [[Minecraft:block]]s, [[Minecraft:effect]]s, [[Minecraft:Controls|using an item]] and [[Minecraft:enchantments]]. The speed can be increased by pressing two movement keys while facing a 45-degree angle.
