Minecraft:Soul Speed

Template:Dungeons hatnote Template:Infobox enchantment Soul Speed is an Minecraft:enchantment applied to Minecraft:boots that causes faster movement on Minecraft:soul sand and Minecraft:soul soil, but slowly drains Minecraft:durability in the process.

Obtaining

Soul Speed is a treasure enchantment. It cannot be obtained from Minecraft:enchanting in an Minecraft:enchanting table. Unlike most other treasure enchantments, it also cannot be obtained from most Minecraft:chest loot (except from chests in bastion remnants), Minecraft:fishing, or Minecraft:trading.

Mob loot

Piglins may spawn wearing Minecraft:golden boots enchanted with Soul Speed which have a chance to be dropped when they are killed.

Generated loot

Enchanted books and golden boots with a random level of Soul Speed may appear in Minecraft:bastion remnant "generic" chests. Template:LootChestItem

Bartering

Soul Speed can be acquired via Minecraft:bartering with Minecraft:piglins, who may offer Minecraft:enchanted books and Minecraft:iron boots with a random level of Soul Speed.

Usage

Speed

When walking on Minecraft:soul sand or Minecraft:soul soil, Soul Speed multiplies the player's walking speed with <math>1.3+\left(0.105\cdot level\right)</math> and removes the slowness from soul sand.

While Soul Speed walkways are not as fast as some other means of transit (such as Minecraft:blue ice tracks), Soul Speed boots do not require vehicles such as minecarts or boats in order to apply their speed boost. This makes Soul Speed walkways useful for increasing movement speed across more uneven or varied terrain where vehicles might prove unwieldy.

Minecraft:Carpets or Minecraft:slabsTemplate:Only on top of soul sand or soul soil does not prevent the speed increase from Soul Speed.

Player's speed on compatible blocks compared to player's speed on non-soul blocks:

Enchantment level	Speed increase
Soul Speed I	40.5%
Soul Speed II	51.0%
Soul Speed III	61.5%

Durability

The durability of worn boots enchanted with Soul Speed has a 4% chance to go down for each compatible block stepped on.Template:Verify<ref>Template:Bug</ref> This chance can be decreased with the Minecraft:Unbreaking enchantment.

Minecraft:Unbreaking level	Breaking chance	Decrease
None	4%	0%
I	3.2%	20%
II	2.93%	26.6%
III	2.8%	30%

Expected number of compatible blocks stepped on before boots break (by unbreaking level):

Boots	Durability	No Unbreaking (4%)	Unbreaking I (3.2%)	Unbreaking II (2.93%)	Unbreaking III (2.8%)
Template:ItemLink	65	1,625	2,031	2,219	2,321
Template:ItemLink	91	2,275	2,844	3,105	3,250
Template:ItemLink	143	3,575	4,469	4,881	5,107
Template:ItemLink	195	4,875	6,094	6,656	6,964
Template:ItemLink	195	4,875	6,094	6,656	6,964

Trivia

• Template:IN the particles generated by the enchantment are bright in the darkness because they don't respect light levels.<ref>Template:Bug Resolved as Won't Fix</ref>
• Soul Speed works via stomping the souls out of the blocks, hence the particles.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcHiRdrsAfk&t=2510s</ref>
• Template:IN, in Minecraft:Spectator mode, if a player wearing boots with Soul Speed flies over soul sand or soul soil, the particle effect still plays.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
