Minecraft: Slow Item Challenge

Everyone knows that in real life when you hold more things you get slower the heavier the item is the less of that item you’ll need to slow you down well that’s exactly what I’ve done in this Minecraft challenge here I have these command blocks and there’s one for

Almost every important Block in the game as you can see the more items I hold the slower I get initially the thresholds were 1 20 40 and 60 but I felt as if that was too easy to make this challenge actually challenging I’ve changed the

Thresholds to 1 2 3 4 5 six and seven so if I hold one item I get slowness one and if I hold five items I get slowness five some other important rules for this challenge are that the slowness effects on items of different types do not stack

So for example if I have one piece of cobblestone which is giving me slowness one and if I’m holding a piece of coal which also gives me slowness one I will still have slowness one and the two slowness effects are not combined items such as food have no weight and

Otherwise weightless items by Logic such as wool and snow snow also have no effects on weight without further Ado let’s get into the challenge so to start off the challenge I went to the nearest tree and got some logs I allowed the slowness to affect me to the max but it

Didn’t matter since I could get everything done standing in one place wooden items had no effect on weight so that was nice the slowness was pretty noticeable especially at the start of the game where I would be moving a lot compared to the late game where I would

Have a base established and had most of the basic resources at my disposal so I didn’t bother holding on to any resources at the moment I went outwards towards this sand area and found a village I stole their supplies like food and beds since the village already had

Houses made for me I decided to just stay with them for now since moving planks and making my own base would take far too long since I would have to move one to five planks at a time and getting the logs would have been a whole separate issue I went mining first thing

In the morning and I quickly realized that cobblestone was going to be a huge issue for me as I would mine I would need to constantly clear my inventory of cobblestone because if I didn’t I would get slowness all the way up to 7 7 and at slowness 7 I can’t

Move I made a chest near the top of the tunnel I kept going back and forth to drop off the bundles of cobblestone at the chest it was slow but it was the most efficient method I had at the moment I kept mining until I came across

Some iron and coal since these resources are basic and are usually only available deep underground I increased the weight threshold for these items to 10 20 30 and so on I brought them back up and smelted the iron to make some iron tools and armor although the iron tools were

Heavier than stone tools the slowness applied by tools and shields only happens if I am actively holding the item in my main or off hand so it wasn’t much of a problem I took the bare necessities and continued to explore the area I came across another smaller

Village and there wasn’t much there but next to the Village I came across a sand temple from which I got gunpowder iron gold and some diamonds I quickly ran home with these items and put them away the things I found next made me genuinely question whether or not this

World was glitched because I came across another village with another temple in front of it and after I was finished with that Temple and Village not much further up the road I found another Village and another Temple I wasn’t complaining since this was just making my run exponentially

Easier but these were all in very close proximity with one another and all I was doing was running forwards I got some Saddles diamonds and some other items and ran home to put them away I carried on running forwards until the end of the desert biome and came across a broken

Nether portal there was nothing too special in the chest but this meant I wouldn’t have to look for lava for obsidian I ran back home to make myself a diamond pickaxe and went back immediately to collect the obsidian there was however a very big issue at this point obsidian was one of the

Heavier items and carrying more than two at once back home just wasn’t viable so I had to make around six trips back and forth to actually bring the obsidian back to my house and this took for forever since I wasn’t going back at a normal Pace I was going with slowness

Applied to me I eventually got all the obsidian back home I made the portal opened it but before going in I got some extra obsidian for my enchanting table and for another nether portal in case I’d get lost in the nether using this small Lava Lake I found near the village

I also ran back to one of the villages where I remembered seeing some bookshelves so I went to get those and made myself an enchanting table without wasting any time I jumped head first into The Nether I forgot to bring a golden armor piece to appease the

Piglins so I went back and it gives me slowness three I mean it makes sense since gold is really heavy in real life but that means I was confined to moving at a snail Pac throughout the nether the place with Lava Lakes flying ghost babies Endermen Pig Bulls I literally

Had no choice but to crawl my way through the nether running wasn’t an option so I had to stand and fight everything I came across and to make it even worse Nether fortresses are quite literally impossible to come by unless you get extremely lucky or if you’re

Exploring the nether quite quickly I did not get lucky I was crawling through the nether for hours and found absolutely nothing so I went back using the extra obsidian I bought with me through my golden armor off so I could finally walk and run again and ran back home I

Thought long and hard about how I could possibly Traverse the nether quicker and remembered that those weird lava fish things exist and that you could ride them I also realized the importance of the Overworld equivalent of this a horse or better yet a donkey since you can put

Chests on them boats with chests were also good for exploring the Seas which I did for a while but I didn’t find anything too special I grabbed a saddle that I found from one of the temples and I went back to the Nether and tried riding the nether horses and I couldn’t

Move it after a quick Google search I realized that I needed this blue flower that grows in the Nether and you basically use it the same way you would with a pig and a carrot on a stick so I went out looking for one of the blue

Biomes in the Nether and I found one not too far away from my portal I got the weird blue flower put it on a stick and finally I had a decently quick mode of transportation in the Nether and it didn’t really matter what I had on me

Since weight didn’t affect the speed of things like horses I did find a Bastion remant but I felt as if I was too much of a low level to engage with it so I left it alone for now and kept trying to find a nether fortress I eventually came

Across a nether fortress and at the entrance the first thing I did was put my belongings into a chest and took a screenshot of my coordinates in case I died surprisingly enough I managed to explore a decent amount of the Fortress without dying I got some diamonds iron

Gold saddles and blaze rods once I was done I came back to the chest at the start I grabbed all my belongings and very slowly got back on my nether horse and Rod back to my nether portal there was a lot of the nether fortress that I

Had yet to explore but I didn’t want to explore all of it because it was just too dangerous I grabbed what I needed and I left as quick as I could since I had already found a blue biome for the flower I also knew that there are

Endermen in said biome so after I put my stuff away I went back with a sword and pickaxe and farmed some ender pearls I came back home with about a stack and a half and made some Eyes of Ender before I set out to find a stronghold I wanted

To get a horse because running with any amounts of slowness applied to me would make it very difficult chances of me dying were higher and strongholds are usually very very far away so it would take forever to get there I also wanted to get some more wood but this was near

Impossible since I was in the middle of a desert biome and the nearest wood Source was too far for me to get on foot the wooden logs were heavy and one log meant one increment in slowness I didn’t really know what camels could be used

For for so I tried putting a saddle on one and it was a lot slower than if I had a horse or a donkey but it was better than nothing I rode the camel there and back each time getting about 7 to nine bundles of wood I brought them

Back home made them into planks and crafted some bookshelves for my enchanting table so I could fight the Ender Dragon with some decent enchantments I wanted to get a level 30 enchantment on my diamond sword so I waited for now and set out towards the stronghold I eventually got to the

Location where the Eye of Ender went underground which meant I was at the stronghold believe believe it or not it was actually under one of the villages that was near my house and because of that it was pretty close and I didn’t need a horse or a camel to transport me

There I explored the stronghold and I eventually found the library which was an amazing find since I found a book with sharpness 4 on it I went home and put the enchantment onto my sword and went back to find the main room holding the diamond sword makes me super

Heavy and slow but it didn’t really matter since after you destroy the towers you only stand and jump in place while smacking the dragon I bought some arrows and a bow for the towers and I also brought some hay bales for the Caged Towers since they are stackable

Weightless blocks I placed my bed next to the end portal and I jumped in I took down the towers one by one with the bow and I used the hay bales to climb up to the cage Towers broke the bars with an iron pickaxe and broke the

End Crystal I dyed multiple times to the dragon and Enderman but it was okay since I had my respawn point right next to the portal and I also got EXT extremely lucky with my spawn in the end it was right over the end Island where

The dragon was so I didn’t have to build out or find another way to the island I just dropped down and did this every time I came back I eventually managed to kill the dragon I collected the XP and I jumped back into the portal if you enjoyed this challenge run
