What is the Fastest Way to Travel in Survival Minecraft 1.20?

A lot of your time playing minecraft is spent traveling and speeding that up can save tons of hours so in this video i’ll show you the fastest ways to travel and survival minecraft the most important thing to think about first are what are the actual main times and scenarios in

Which we need to travel the first thing is going through different sections of your base let’s say from the farm within your base maybe over to another farm to your enchanting table maybe even to a third farm and then to a storage area or smelting area just the traveling

Distance that you do for just a couple blocks between different areas of your main base can often take up the most amount of time that you actually are traveling for so we want to find a solution for the fastest traveling in that scenario but then we also have to

Travel between different builds let’s say from our base over to someone else’s base oftentimes these traveling distances can also take a long time even if we’re not going for hundreds of blocks we still have to travel between these two places quite a bit of times this could even be

Between your base and maybe a far out farm or a mining area there’s a lot of different distances that are just a little bit further than between your base that you’re still going quite a bit the third scenario is between very large areas especially distances i would say

That are over two or three hundred blocks we are traveling for quite a long time let’s say maybe going to a distant biome that you go to a lot or maybe going to a far away area for a structure like let’s say an ancient city that you’ve been working on or something like

That there’s also this type of travel traveling between two distances that are not set and generally this would be when you’re exploring so you’re going to areas you’ve never been to before you’re not sure how far you have to go or really where your destination is but

Just that you have to travel for a very long distance to go there maybe trying to discover a new structure or a new biome or even just going to get a new place to live these long distance explorations through the nether or the overworld or even the end or also

Something that can take a lot of your time so how fast are your main traveling methods well if you’re just walking and no sprinting that is 4.317 meters a second or more or less you’re traveling about four and one-third blocks every second next there’s running or sprinting and not

Combining that with jumping that is 5.6 meters a second or about five and a half blocks every second interestingly enough that’s actually not that much quicker than walking it just seems quicker because it does have that slight advantage over it and of course combined with jumping that makes it quite a bit

Faster so if you’re jumping when sprinting you’re going at 7.127 meters a second or basically slightly over seven blocks every second so funny enough that means the speed difference between walking and running is actually less than difference between running and running while jumping of course there is always just swimming as

Well so not just going through the water like this but actually swimming and although you cannot jump as you’re swimming through the water swimming speed is very similar to that of sprint walking at 5.612 meters a second or a little bit over five and a half blocks being

Traveled every second and there are status effects which can make this faster and what about using a boat now of course you can use a boat on sloped water but generally it would be flat and so if you’re boating you’re going eight blocks a second or eight meters a second

This makes it somewhat faster than sprint running this is compared to a little bit over seven blocks a second with running and jumping at the same time and so eight blocks a second for boating is pretty good considering that it doesn’t take up anywhere near as much

Food energy as running and jumping does and there are ways of leveling up the speed of boats which i will get into later and what about elytra how fast actually is this of course it’s much faster than most other methods of transportation but by how much well if you’re flying forward with the

Continuous rocket boost you’re traveling at 33 blocks a second which isn’t actually as fast as you’d think i think it’s precisely 33.5 blocks a second but still that’s only a little over three times as fast as boating if you’re gliding at a 30 degree pitch which is

Like right here you’re going at about 30 blocks a second so only slightly slower than continuously using fireworks however you can over double the speed of the elytra if you’re gliding at 52 degrees downwards so that would be like this the speed we’re traveling right now once we get to full velocity is

67.3 meters a second which is incredibly fast and of course if we’re sort of going in a zigzag motion we can use that speed for a large majority of our flight time and finally if we’re going straight down we go to a maximum speed of 78.4 meters a second or almost 80 blocks

Every single second and there’s also some other ways of boosting yourself with the lytra which i will get into later now if you’re throwing an ender pearl you end up traveling approximately 20 blocks a second although of course it does depend on a lot of factors and what

Angle you shoot it at and there are also ways you can manipulate ender pearls to go much faster or you can even keep them frozen but of course the advantage of ender pearls is getting to places that you normally couldn’t now for late game minecraft elytra basically removed the

Use of the ender pearl however there are still some scenarios in which it’s quite useful especially if you have some a little bit earlier game for getting into difficult to get places if you want a somewhat nether specific travel method then you can use the strider you can

Actually get the advancement this boat has legs on it which is quite funny and you can see these do travel at a fairly good speed if you’re traveling over lava your speed is 4.14 meters a second or about four blocks every second however if you’re traveling over something that

Is not lava and just over blocks then you end up going very slow at 1.74 meters a second or a little bit under two blocks being traveled every second but what about the overworld rideable mobs namely riding on a pig which is one of the most useless travel methods with

A carrot on a stick as well as a saddle at the very fastest you can only go about 4.19 meters a second or more or less four blocks every second being traveled and it generally is going nowhere near max speed now if you actually right click and use the carrot

On the stick that’s what gets you the 4.2 meters a second however if you’re just holding the carrot on the stick and not using it you’ll only go at four blocks a second but a big level up from riding the strider and the pig is the

Main rideable mob that is the horse so your standard average horse gives you about 10 blocks a second being traveled although of course that does depend a lot still that is faster than riding a boat by quite a bit and that is definitely faster than running and

Jumping at the same time the fastest possible horse is a little under 15 blocks a second at 14.5 meters a second being traveled and of course with horses strange maneuverability they can be quite an issue however with their jumping ability as well that does make them a rather good traveling method

Although of course nothing like the elytra with a lot less control as well although funny enough you can break blocks right through the actual horse under it around it whatever you want as it just does not have a hitbox in any way when you’re riding it and for other

Variants of the horse like donkeys or skeleton horses you average about seven to eight blocks a second being traveled so it’s always good to have the standard horse if you’re wanting to travel with that type of animal alright so those are the main ways of traveling but there’s a

Lot of methods to boost these to the next level and even some other strange methods that can get you way faster speeds than that and way more efficient travel methods that can serve us for any of our traveling purposes so the first way of upgrading our travel is with soul

Speed boots now you get the soul speed enchantment from piglen bartering in the nether when you put those on when you’re traveling on top of soul sand then you will go faster however what’s very good about this is you can put blocks with any thickness all the way up to the

Thickness of a slab on top of that soul sand and the effect will still activate so if you do not like the look of soul sand you don’t have to have a big ugly path of soul sand all around your world you could put carpet on top of it even

Easier you could put slabs on top of it that still works like this and if you want something that’s almost completely invisible then you can use the moss carpet like it has down here this is definitely a really fun way of upgrading your travel experience and i like although the speed boost isn’t

Completely insane this is really great for that group of travel i was talking about which is travel within your base or travel between your builds where you’re not going that far but you can still have a really nice presentation for what you’re doing although of course you could make a massive highway across

Your world that utilizes that soul speed it’s just of course not as efficient as some other methods we’re about to discuss and just to be aware it does take down the durability on your boots that have soul speed 3 when you’re riding on one of these and so you’d want

The occasional stop with some bottles of enchanting or some mob to kill so you could get your boots mended back up and if you’re sprinting with soul speed 3 boots then you travel at a little bit over 9 blocks a second making this just be slightly slower than riding at your

Standard horse’s speed and i would say it’s definitely the perfect method for very small distances one way of speeding up swimming is if you have a dolphin nearby and you swim next to it you will get the dolphin’s gray status effect which will make it so that your swimming

Speed is far improved with the speed all the way up to 9.8 meters a second making this actually be slightly faster than your standard horse and also a little bit faster than going with soul speed and so there are ways of setting up tunnels with dolphins in them to make

You a way to get infinite dolphins grace and travel super far distances with this effect and you can stack this effect with depth strider and soul speed to go completely insane distances underwater which is sometimes a method of players to make a fast travel system although it is a very large amount of

Work now other than depth strider and soul speed there is also swift snake and if you have that on your boots when you’re sneaking you can go much faster than with that knot being on your boots and at swift’s sneak level 3 you can crouch and walk at 75 percent of the

Speed as you normally could when walking which is pretty good considering the fact that sneaking is usually much slower than running now one other fast method of travel is to use the trident so for inside of water and we have riptide trident we can go incredibly

Quickly by using that if it’s raining we can also use that in the air although of course it is quite risky and the momentum it uses is rather strange so if you’re facing straightforward you can still hit the ground and die so i’d be aware to be very careful with that

Unless you have a later on but especially using it through the water even just to travel underwater can be a really cool thing considering that it doubles as a weapon so if you run into a mob then you can just hit it with a trident there and it’s even great for

Launching off your elytra as you can go very far into the air as long as you’re in a single block of water and there’s no limit to how far you can go with it even going incredibly high into the air and you can even go faster than you

Would with normal electro with the riptide trident which is crazy considering you can get this fairly early game but one of the fastest travel methods possible is if you combine this with a pair of elytra so you can see us flying right now and if we keep using this riptide ride we’ll get

Exponentially faster and faster and faster up to an incredibly insane speed and basically no matter how good your computer is you can eventually get faster than the terrain is rendering in with this riptide trident which is pretty cool and you can even go incredibly high up into the air with

This so if we shoot up into the air super far with our elytra equipped we can eventually get really really high up so right here we’re at 650 but you can go even further if you go at some strange methods so for instance if you kind of spin around weird i’ve been

Able to end up up to 3 000 blocks into the air so if you do not mind freezing and unloaded chunks this is 100 the fastest way of traveling in the over world going hundreds of blocks a second at full speed if you want to bring your

Traveling with boat game next level then go in boats that are on top of ice so this could be standardized like this you go much much faster than you would normally really up to incredible speeds so that makes you travel 40 blocks a second which is faster than you usually

Travel with elytra and the speed you travel with packed ice is actually the exact same as standard ice but in some scenarios standard ice can melt rather easily and so using packed ice can always be a better method of that and oftentimes packed ice is actually the

Easiest ice to get your hands on but what about the last one blue ice wealth blue ice you go almost double the speed going all the way up to 72 blocks a second now this is incredibly fast it’s much faster than you can go with elytra and of course being able to replicate

This over long distances without having to worry about firework rockets or any type of fuel in fact something interesting about the ice is you do not need half of the ice blocks there in fact you can travel between those gaps so you can just go one piece of ice and

Then one piece without ice in between like this that also makes this method much cheaper whereas some people might do a two block wide path of ice you can actually just do every other block like this or even alternate their position to the side a little bit to give you a

Fully working ice pathway that is anywhere from one quarter to one half the cost and is just as effective one other method of travel which mostly is just for fun but can still be really cool is a player launcher now these are basically only really feasible in

Peaceful mode as in peaceful mode you don’t take damage from tnt and so because of that you can fly up incredibly far into the air like i did right here of course you don’t always fly far enough but sometimes you can fly incredibly far depending on the design

Up to thousands of blocks into the air so that can definitely be a fun thing to try but of course it’s not perfect compared to other methods and the expense of it really just makes it a novelty for trying out here and there but still definitely one of the funnest

Methods now something you can do with mine curts if you want to change around how they work a bit is put a whole bunch of mine curts on a minecart track and ride the mine carts and go forward in them and you can notice they all group

Together like this and you actually have a moving mine curtain machine that has no rails in it now eventually it does break apart but depending on how it’s set up it can actually travel for a very long time like this one i’m chasing right now is and if you have a flat

Track you can have a fully self propelled mine curt system with absolutely no need for anything but just a bunch of mine carts and speaking of mine carts what about the standard ways of using them how fast do minecarts go well i might make a video at some point

That goes into further detail about minecarts but for a basic minecart track going straight with powered rails you travel at eight blocks a second making it be about the same speed as going with a boat so that can be a good method of travel as well being sort of something

Pre-set out you don’t have to think and you can even afk when you’re riding on the mine cart track so that can always be a good method of travel if you want now something you can add to basically any method of travel to make it much

Quicker is a speed 2 beacon but you can also just drink a speed 2 potion and so either of these methods will make you travel at a much faster velocity which can level up any of these to be much more efficient and much faster speed 1 makes you travel 20 faster and most

Types of travel and speed 2 makes you travel 40 percent faster and this is the same between beacons and potions so definitely adding one of these around your base can alleviate a lot of time use now one last effect of travel i’ve not covered yet is the nether

Amplification of travel and it is absolutely insane basically every single block you travel in the nether once you go back in the overworld you’ll have traveled eight blocks so let’s say we have two portals that are a hundred blocks apart in the nether we go from the other portal then we’re 800 blocks

Apart those two portals are in the overworld now i do go into this with more detail of how to make a nether hub and the effects of how that works and i have a video on that all of an icard on the screen right now if you want to

Check out that video but overall if you can port any method of travel into the nether you are literally multiplying its speed by eight times so with that in mind and with all the main travel methods covered what are the fastest ways of traveling in minecraft so the

Fastest way of traveling in the overworld is with a pair of soul speed 3 depth strider 3 boots if you have some soul sand underwater with some slabs on top of it and you have dolphins nearby you can combine all these speed effects to go at an incredibly incredibly quick

Speed as you can see right here and if combined with the speed effect this can be even more insane so with the dolphins the depth rider 3 the soul speed 3 the speed all of that combined you can go up to 105 meters a second which is an absolutely

Insane speed and this actually would be the fastest way to travel in the game if it wasn’t for the nether of course you can’t have water in the nether so most of these methods actually don’t work very well there the fastest way to travel in the nether is on a blue ice

Boat pathway now basically at full speed here we’re going 74 blocks a second but multiplied by 8 which is another distance we’re actually going closer to 800 blocks a second however with the incredible danger of the nether some people prefer not to make ice highways however if you enclose them in they’re

Actually fairly safe but that is actually not the fastest method of travel technically you can make an insane ender pearl cannon or ender pearl stasis chamber where someone basically destroys the stasis chamber on one end so you travel back let’s say 30 million blocks or a cannon will shoot the ender

Pearl super far but as you’re not technically traveling and this method is not very reliable at going realistic distances and although that is the fastest method for actual general use i would say for the overworld if you want the fastest experience just there use that crazy pathway with the dolphins but

In general you want to use that blue ice pathway hopefully you enjoyed this minecraft transportation guide and answering the question what’s the fastest way to travel and survival minecraft i’ll see you in the next video and have a great day goodbye You
