Soul Speed Has Big Issues… | Soul Speed Enchantment & Mojang’s Problem

Hey hey there everybody it’s me waddles how’s it going welcome to another video in today’s video we’re going to talk about Minecrafts newest upcoming enchantment souls feat a long story short it could be better mm being 124 percent honest I don’t only think soul speed could be better I think

It needs to be better if you enjoy videos like this from me your guy yours truly let me know by leaving a like it really helps the video out it helps me out I always appreciate it remember to subscribe as well and also just remember that this video is just

For fun I definitely loved minecraft don’t get it wrong I’d like to preface everything that I’m about to say in today’s video by saying that I enjoy the concept of the soul speed enchantment and I think it’s amazing that the devs actually added the enchantment into the

Game in the first place I always believed that minecraft could use more enchantments so another enchantment that is inherently just going to be a good thing anyways the 20w 11 a snapshot introduced a brand new enchantment into minecraft it was pretty exciting to fully understand the video on what I’m talking

About let’s start by breaking down the soul speed enchantment the enchantment is an armor enchantment that has three levels with this brand-new supercool enchantment on a pair of boots the players movement speed will actually be increased while moving across soul set it’s seriously pretty cool now each level of the soul speed

Enchantment will increase the players movement speed a little bit until the player hits souls to be 3 and the movement speed across soul sin and soul soil is absolutely insane it is how pretty it’s pretty crazy there’s an amazing particle effect as well the little blue flame thing I don’t

Know if you guys can see it that thing it’s amazing the coolest thing about the souls of Eden Chapman is definitely this right here take a look at how quickly I’m moving I’m sprinting now if I sprint on this I’m moving slower with soul speed 3 players can actually move faster on soul

Sand or soul soil than they can on normal blocks of while running it’s seriously pretty crazy the enchantment is really really cool in its current form it’s actually pretty rare soul speed is actually a treasure enchantment which means you’ll need to go out into the world to actually get

Your hands on it to actually get your hands on this little speed enchantment first you’ll need to find a piggelin after you found with that Pinklon give the people a piece of gold and then you wait the valent will examine its favorite thing in the world and then

Eventually I throw you something and hopefully that something will end up being a soul speed book unfortunately I’ve done quite a bit of testing here and the soul speed enchantment that’s not a common barter at all I talked a little bit more about it in my 20 w11 a

Snapshot showcase video but basically it’s safe to say that the souls bead enchantment is going to be a pretty rare enchantment so so far soul speed actually sounds pretty good and it definitely is but there’s one gigantic drawback that we we need to talk about that you need to know

About so I’ve had on my soul speed 350 um doc I don’t know anyways I’ve had these supposed to be three boots on for a while now I take a look at the durability I am unpeaceful so I’m not fighting anything that durability loss is because

I’ve been walking on soul sand and soul soil so with the soul speed enchantment the players movement speed is increased while moving across the soul blocks but unfortunately while moving across the soul blocks your soul speed boots have the chance and will definitely end up taking a little bit of durability damage

That is a huge huge downside king b-dawg’s the devil seems to be working the most on this enchantment is currently looking for feedback on the enchantment so if we think something about the soul’s beating jamming now would definitely be the time to talk about it I think this enchantment if

Implemented in its current state would be pretty much useless completely ignore balandin fortunately forgotten about I’ve come up with two possible solutions to prevent all of that bad stuff from happening the first way that the devs could make the soul speed enchantment a little less forgettable and a little bit easier to

Use is to of course make it easier to find now I am a huge fan of the bartering concept I really like the idea that players have to go into the nether and barter with the piglets to find a special unique enchantment but if the enchantment has the potential to eat

Your boots pretty much while moving across sole sand that means eventually your boots could break and if your boots break what was all of that bartering for yeah well nothing because you have nothing now and you’re probably pretty sad so unfortunately if the durability damage mechanic were to be capped with soul speed

I think the enchantment needs to get a whole lot easier to fight maybe it’s added into the lieu table of certain chests like maybe inside of nether fortresses or maybe the enchantment is just obtainable through the enchanting table just like with most other enchantments in the game already I

Love the idea of adding more treasure enchantments but the treasure enchantments have to be good and in my opinion a long-lasting take a look at mending in frost Walker you find these enchantments you get them on something and then they’re there forever unless you’re not careful of course at the same

Time if you did somehow lose the tools of those enchantments Ron it wouldn’t have been because of those enchantments frost Walker does not decrease the durability of your boots mending I well obviously mending is mending if the devs were to go the route of making sole

Speed easier to get well then I guess the durability damage thing could be kept I’m not the biggest fan of it but if the enchantment is easier to get then the whole durability damage thing is a lot more ignoring a lot more forgettable now I have to be honest the other way

That I think the devs could improve the soul speed enchantment is definitely my favorite way and that’s why we’re talking about it second the other potential route that the devs could go when it comes to making this enchantment actually playable is removing the drawback entirely and keeping the

Bartering mechanic you see again I really like the whole concept of bartering for a special enchantment that is a very very cool game mechanic and definitely promotes going into the nether and bartering with the piglets but to be pretty blunt here the durability loss thing that is insanely

Unintuitive bad terrible not good it doesn’t make sense and not at all in recent years I sometimes feel that the devs have too much of a balancing mindset now yes I am NOT a game dev and I have no inside knowledge of the stuff and also yes I understand the balance

Does need to inherently have in the game if some sort of balancing does not happen things will become genuinely broken – easy-to-use – etc balancing does need to happen but too much balancing is not good at all a good example of this mindset that I believe the devs of kind of fallen into

Aside from the sole speed enchantment is actually found in the update aquatic Trident Trident SAR very very cool I mean they can be used in both ranged and in melee combat no other weapon in the game can say the same thing but Trident SAR also insanely insanely difficult to

Obtain at least on Java Edition the chance that a drowned has to spawn and holding a trident is around 5% that’s not very good to make things even better a drown will only drop a trident if it’s spawned holding a trident and if a drone to spawn holding a trident it won’t

Always drop that trident so you better get looting three and have a whole lot of luck then the makings even better once you actually get the trident to drop from a drone you have the chance to receive it with almost no durability remaining to fix that trident up well

Mending there were more trident not very easy now from the sounds of how difficult it is to get you think that this trident would be crazy crazy opie but nope it’s basically just a throwie sword sense of the Trident was added back in the update aquatic I’ve always

Believed that the Trident was over balanced for really no good reason at all why are Trident a so difficult to get again on Java edition another good example of this over balancing mindset or maybe in better words lack of a good reward mindset I don’t know over balancing flows better anyways the next

Example can be found in the Minecraft village and pillage update the example is Wright’s I had at least on Hard difficulty Reds can be pretty tough and can potentially take quite a bit of time to tackle dedicate that time for your villagers through a bunch of stress and put them

At quite a bit of risk for what great reward well nothing really aside from a handful of emeralds maybe some totems of undying and I guess some discounts you’ll get some free items in the end too but yeah I’ve sort of always held the belief the devs didn’t really give a

Good reward on raids to prevent them from becoming too overpowered both of these examples represent Neuer game mechanics or items that are really really cool but also have some sort of unnecessary drawback for really no reason at all why is the trident so difficult to get why arrayed so done

Rewarding how I see it if players want to make Sol highways that are super long in their world and run on them with your sole speed three boots great that’s exactly what the enchantment is for that’s really really cool but unfortunately while players are using these highways they will get

Hungry because well that’s just how minecraft works if you run you need to eat eventually this whole cities balance is already in the game and it has been for years if players don’t like this whole getting hungry thing well put a little bit of extra work and planning in

Build some sort of boat highway and boom you’re good hunger not a problem at all the hunger system that has been in Minecraft for years is whole speeds natural game balancer no need for durability loss at all to close things out on this video today I’d like to open

Things up to a broader conversation about Minecraft in general features can be added into Minecraft without a massive drawback I believe it would be best to remove the increased durability damage that’s the sole speed boost a console blocks all together no drawback at all is needed I mean soul

Speed is an enchantment after all an enchantment should be an enchantment no strings attached aqua affinity has no drawbacks unbreaking has no drawbacks even knock-back an enchantment that I personally just really really don’t like I find it really annoying has no inherent drawbacks it does exactly what

It says it’ll do a negative side effect is not needed for every single new feature then it definitely isn’t needed here I think it was a big mistake to make Trident super rare and uncraft about I think it was also a very very big missed opportunity to not add some

Sort of really good and game tier loot to the end of a raid to wrap everything up nicely today I believe the soul speed enchantment is a cool enchantment I like it but in its current form it’s not going to be very good I do not like the increased durability usage balance I

Think you could do without and things would be completely fine but that’s just what I think what do you think about what I said in today’s video elite so let me know down in the comments below and remember it’s not that deep it’s just a game
