Change Player Speed With Commands (No Potions) In Minecraft

How to Change Player Speed in Minecraft Without Potions or Mods

Hey Minecraft enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into a cool trick on how to adjust your player speed in Minecraft Java Edition without the use of potions or mods. Whether you want to zoom across your world or slow things down to a crawl, this simple tutorial will show you how to use Minecraft’s in-game commands to change your movement speed.

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Open Your Command Terminal

The first thing you need to do is open up the command terminal in your Minecraft world. To do this, press / to bring up the chat and command bar.

Now, type in the following command:

/attribute

The /attribute command allows you to modify various attributes of your player, including movement speed.

Step 2: Select the Player

Once you’ve entered the /attribute command, you’ll be prompted to select the target for the command. You can choose to affect:

• All players
• The nearest player
• A random player
• Yourself (@s)
• A specific player (by entering their username)

For this tutorial, we’ll focus on using @s, which targets yourself.

Step 3: Choose the Speed Attribute

Next, you’ll need to choose the attribute you want to modify. In this case, we’re changing the player’s movement speed. Type in:
/attribute @s minecraft:generic.movement_speed
This command refers to your player’s movement speed, which we’ll be adjusting shortly.

Step 4: Set the Speed Value

Now comes the fun part—adjusting the actual speed value. You can set your speed to whatever you like, but keep in mind that the default player movement speed is between 0.1 and 0.2.

For example, if you want to make your player really fast, you can set the speed to 10. The full command would look like this:
/attribute @s minecraft:generic.movement_speed base set 10

Once you hit enter, you’ll notice your player starts zooming around the world at an incredible speed! Perfect for quick exploration or just some fun chaos.

Step 5: Adjust the Speed to Your Liking

You can experiment with different values to find a speed that suits your gameplay. Here are some examples:

• Normal speed: 0.1 - 0.2
• Super fast: 10
• A bit faster: 1
• Super slow (frozen): 0

If you set the value to 0, your player will be completely frozen and unable to move, which can be an interesting challenge or just a funny trick. For very slow movement, set the value to something like 0.01—you’ll move, but very, very slowly.

Pro Tip: Automate with Command Blocks

If you’re running a server or playing with friends and want to apply this speed change to multiple players, you can set up a command block. This ensures the speed effect stays active even after players respawn.

Wrapping Up

And that’s it! With just a few commands, you can control your movement speed in Minecraft Java Edition without using any potions or mods. It’s a simple yet powerful way to customize your gameplay and have some fun.
