What Does the "Soul Speed" Enchantment Do in Minecraft?

The "Soul Speed" enchantment increases the player's movement speed on the following block types:

• Soul Sand
• Soul Soil

When wearing enchanted boots, the player moves faster on these blocks than on regular blocks.

The speed increase depends on the enchantment level:

• Soul Speed I — minimal speed boost.
• Soul Speed II — moderate speed boost.
• Soul Speed III — maximum speed boost.

Walking on Soul Sand and Soul Soil while wearing boots enchanted with "Soul Speed" causes the boots to lose durability.

• Piglins sometimes drop books or boots with the "Soul Speed" enchantment when given a gold ingot.
• This is one of the most reliable ways to obtain the enchantment.

• Enchanted books or boots with this effect can be found in Bastion Remnant chests in the Nether.

• "Soul Speed" cannot be applied using an enchanting table. It is only obtainable through trading or finding it in chests.

1. Wear enchanted boots: The effect activates only when wearing boots enchanted with "Soul Speed."
2. Walk on Soul Sand and Soul Soil: You will notice a significant speed boost when moving over these blocks.
3. Be cautious: The effect only works on Soul Sand and Soul Soil; movement speed on other block types remains normal.

• Exploring the Nether: Soul Sand and Soul Soil are commonly found in Nether biomes like Soul Sand Valleys. This enchantment makes traversing these areas much faster.
• Building high-speed roads: Use Soul Sand or Soul Soil to create high-speed pathways in your world. This is convenient for quick travel between bases or other important locations.

• Use the "Unbreaking" enchantment: "Unbreaking" reduces the durability loss on boots, especially during long journeys on Soul Sand and Soul Soil.
• Set up a gold farm: Gold is essential for trading with Piglins, which can greatly speed up obtaining the "Soul Speed" enchantment.
• Combine with other enchantments: "Soul Speed" can be paired with other useful effects like "Protection" or "Thorns" to create versatile boots.
