How to Get Soul Speed Enchantment and Everything You Need to Know

Soul speed maybe you’ve just been given an item from a piglen and he’s all like here have some salt speed and you’re like what the heck is this maybe some minecraft aficionado and you saw this soul speed and champion you’re like what the heck is this dude or maybe you just

Like clicking on videos on youtube whatever reason you’ve come to this video to find out a little bit more about soul speed editor make my voice sound really epic in this next part soul speed explained everything about soul speed whatever the title of this video is we’re going to talk about this soul

Speed enchantment what it does what it is how you use it how you enchant it how fast you go on the different things everything about it so here we are inside of minecraft and i have created this incredible course for us to take a look at everything soul speed related i

Have this crazy system set up what wait a second hello this crazy system set up there it goes i have no idea why that didn’t work before but it is going to calculate exactly how long it takes me to walk from one side of this arena to the other this is a very

Simple command basically every command block in this chain is going to place another command block down not exactly sure if that’s like one tick or two takes it doesn’t matter it’s a very very consistent way to measure and i could have done this with scoreboards but i’m not that

Smart so let’s start with the basics what is soul speed soul speed is an enchantment that you can put onto boots it comes in varieties of ones and threes and twos why didn’t i go in order because i’m random how do you get it well you don’t get it in the overworld

You have to get it in the nether i’ve created a system a simple system where i can give these piglens here gold and they will barter and drop their barters down on the ground i have a video about this that’s like more automated if you want to watch it but bartering is the

Only way to get soul speed and it comes in a few different varieties comes as already enchanted iron boots and then every once in a while it will come as a enchanted book that you could apply to any type of boot and this was about i’d

Say four stacks of gold it took me to get this many soul speed enchantments and that’s it so you got to have quite a lot of gold in order to get the soul speed stuff in order for you to enchant it and this is only sold speed two and

Not even speed three so if you wanted some type of diamond or another right boot that had soul speed three it would take quite a lot of gold in order to randomly get this from bartering so i’m holding this soul speed one boot in my hand and i’m just going to right click

So it will equip as i’m walking so you can see that i’m on soul sand and the moment i put on these boots i move much much faster and you also get these really cool slash creepy particles so this is really all the enchantment does is it makes your movement speed on soul

Sand and soul soil faster but how much faster you ask well that’s why we have this crazy contraption and arena set up so first we are going to remove all of our boots and get a nice control a baseline if you will for every time that i run across

The arena i’m going to be holding down the sprint key and just moving straight ahead not looking anywhere else you can see on the side that my timer is increasing and then as i get to the very end it will stop and i’ve actually gone ahead and marked off all of the places

That this all works that this stops at so that makes it a little bit easy so normal sprinting is right here what i’ve done is these blocks are in lines of 30 why not 10 or 20 to make it easier on myself because i’m stupid i don’t know

So you can count 30 60 90 and then we have this group here every iron bar denotes a level of 10 so we we’re at 90 that’s 10 and then if you count over you get to what is this uh so that would be ten so that’s nine eight so 108 there

You go 108 i can count so i’ve written it down right here normal blocks with normal boots or not soul sand boots and i’m sprinting i will move 108 blocks or it’ll take 108 whatever units of time that this will tally to move from here to there 108 is the number to remember

If i do the exact same experiment but this time on soul sand then we’ll see just how long it’ll take me i move very very slowly even though i’m sprinting and i decided that spring jumping would just cause way too much of a like a difference every single time

That that happened so you can see that it is quite a lot longer where this was normal speed on normal blocks this is slow speed on the soul sand with normal boots and we wrote that down right here that is 185 units of time so you can see by the

Graph and or by the numbers over there that you move incredibly slow on soul sand but what about soul soil so this is this new block in minecraft 1.16 well as you can see i actually move very very fast and i move exactly the same amount

Of speed as i did on normal blocks that’s because soul soil does not change your movement speed it’s just like a normal block that you’re standing on soul sand is the only thing that really slows you down so you have the exact same speed on soul soil as you do on

Normal blocks now here’s where it gets interesting let’s go ahead and add one level of soul speed to our character so we have soul speed number one on these leather boots and it does not matter the material so i don’t think you’re gonna get any faster by using netherright and

This enchantment does not affect normal blocks it only affects soul soil and soul sand so we can really just stop running on this half of the track at this point half i guess i should say third get your fractions right chad so here we go so speed number one you can

See that this is way faster than it was before and you can also you can already see i mean i’ve already put the box down so you can see that that is the spot where it stops and we can check that that is now a time of 77 to move across this

Arena well what is it on seoul soil because soul sand slows you down whenever you’re walking on it but so soil doesn’t so this must be so much faster what now that i’m on so sorry i can already feel it i am moving just so fast

Wait a second that was the same time that was supposed to be one wait a second is this correct oh yeah oh yeah it is so what is interesting to me something that i learned this episode while making it i assumed that you would move a lot faster

On soul soil because it didn’t already negate your speed but i found that soul speed all it does is remove the slowness from the soul sand so it makes soul sand basically a normal block and then also gives you a movement buff so all of the speeds for soul sand and

Soul soil will be the same based off of whatever your enchantment level is that you have with soul speed today i learned today i learned a thing i didn’t know that was the thing but i learned a thing so we can take off soul speed number one place that back in the

Chest and upgrade to soul speed number two i’m gonna reset the big board and just run across whoops i kinda wait a second let me let me just reset this all over again because i didn’t get a very good no stop stop stop counting

Okay well i guess i have to stop it over here luckily i’m a redstone expert and so even if i screw up my own clock it’s fine here we go three two one i can feel the speed i feel like i’m speedy there we go so uh this went ahead and

Ended you can see this was still speed one soul speed two you can take a guess that’s gonna be so speed three and soul speed two gave me a time unit of 72 so not a nice little upgrade and why not let’s just try soul speed 3

On the sole soil because we can so let’s go ahead and stand on this get lined up and sprint across our arena and the final time down here matches up with our big board so let’s take a quick look at this before i show you the number and

That is normal speed on normal blocks normal speed on soul sand blocks and then one two and three so it does make you an awful lot faster and the last ending time is 67. so normal blocks is 108 then you go down to 77 72 and 67 and

Then with soul sand you started at 185 and then you moved on to 77 72 and 67. now i’ve been in creative mode the entire time that i have been testing this out what does that mean the biggest difference is that i will not take durability on the items so whenever you

Walk across soul sander soul soil whenever you have the soul speed enchantment it will affect the durability of that item i’ve gone ahead and switched into survival mode went ahead and put on the soul speed boots and you can see as i walk across this arena i didn’t reset the clock i’m not

Really worried about the clock there you can see that the durability has gone down quite a lot for such a small amount of every time that you move across a block you have a four percent chance that that armor piece that whatever is enchanted with soul speed will take a

Durability hit so if you move 100 blocks theoretically that’s not quite how this works but if you move 100 blocks generally you will take a 4 durability hit on your boots now that didn’t really work out here because i took a three durability hit on these boots and i

Happen to know that it’s basically 30 blocks of bass so i the statistics really hurt my boots here now there is some good news and that is that unbreaking does work with the soul speed enchantment so if you want to keep your boots around for longer you can add

Unbreaking to them and then they will degrade less just like any other type of armor or weapon also you can add minding onto these boots and then you can use your normal experience that you collect throughout the day to mend up these boots and not have to constantly repair

Them in conclusion soul speed makes move faster on soul type blocks is this a game changer is this absolutely the best thing in the absolute world probably not because soul soil type things don’t happen all that often i could see this not being all that useful although people are going to

Get creative with it and people already have and i’m going to avoid showing off any exploits in minecraft that take like an absurd advantage of this speed because who knows we’re still in snapshots so that could all be developed out of the game but where i really see something like this being used

Is most likely in nether hubs currently in nether hubs a lot of people use ice and boats to move around very fast and i could see that being replaced with soul soil and soul speed that way you can control your character a lot easier it’s way simpler

Just to walk or sprint instead of needing to deal with a boat and it would also feel very nether e another esque nether like to need to walk on soul soil instead of having all this ice in the nether which just like does not make sense how is it that water can’t exist

In another but ice can like that doesn’t does logically that makes no sense just a prediction obviously i don’t know and so this is a way to sort of add a fast way of travel inside of the nether do you need to have this enchanted on your

Boots all the time probably not no but if you’re someone who’s going to be spending a ton of time in the nether this would be an enchantment for you so there you go everything you need to know about the soul speed enchantment how to get it how to apply it where it works
