How to Run FAST in Minecraft! Make Your Player Faster with ONE Command!

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap and welcome back to another video! Today I’m going to be showing you how to be fast in Minecraft with a simple command. The best part? This works on both Bedrock and Java Edition, which basically means you’re in luck — it will work on almost any version of Minecraft. If you’d prefer to watch the video version, you can check it out here: How to Run FAST in Minecraft! Make YOUR Player Faster with ONE Command!

What Does This Command Do?

This command essentially gives your player the Potion of Swiftness effect 24/7, so your character is constantly running fast. It’s just one command, which makes it super simple to set up. Let’s head over to a command block and get straight into it!

Setting Up the Command

The first part of the command starts with effect give. This is where you can choose who you want to give the speed effect to. If you only want to give it to yourself, you can type in your own player name. If you want to give it to all players, you can use @a. You can also use @e for all entities, which means literally everything — including creepers and zombies — will get the speed effect. For this example, I’m going to give the effect to myself using my player name, UnderMyCap.

Interestingly, the effect is not called “Swiftness” — it’s actually called Speed, even though the potion itself is called the Potion of Swiftness. Once you’ve typed in speed, you can then set the duration in seconds. If you want it to activate for a set time, like 60 seconds, you can type that in. If you want it to be infinite, newer versions of Minecraft will actually show an “infinite” option that autofills for you. If you don’t have that option, you can simply type in a very large number to achieve the same result.

Next up is the amplifier — this is where things can get a little crazy! Starting with a small amplifier of 1 is a great place to begin. If you increase the amplifier even slightly, your character will move extremely fast and can be quite difficult to control, so I recommend keeping it at 1 to start. Make sure your command block is set to Repeat and Always Active so the effect is constantly being applied.

Hiding the Particles

You may notice that the speed effect comes with visible particles around your character, which can get quite annoying if the effect is running 24/7. To hide these, you can set the particles value to false at the end of your command. This keeps things looking clean while still giving you all the speed benefits.

Clearing the Effect

If you ever give yourself a very high amplifier by accident or just want to reset, there are a couple of easy ways to clear the effect. You can run the command /effect clear to reset it, or if you’d prefer not to type a command, you can simply drink a Bucket of Milk, which will remove all effects from your player.

Getting Rid of the Command Spam

One thing you’ll notice when using a repeating command block is that it can create constant spam messages in the bottom left of your screen (or the top left on tablet). To get rid of this, you don’t need another command block — just type /gamerule commandBlockOutput false into the chat. Note the two capital letters in “commandBlockOutput.” This tells the command blocks to stop sending output messages, and just like that, the spam is gone!

Important Things to Keep in Mind

A really important thing to note about using command blocks is that you need to be within range of the command block, and it needs to be loaded within chunks for it to constantly activate. Because of this, I recommend setting the duration to infinite or a very large number so that once a player interacts with the command block, they can move away and keep the effect. Also, just like any other effect in Minecraft, if you die you will lose the speed effect, so having it set to infinite or being able to easily reactivate it is a great idea.
