Minecraft – Does holding certain objects in your hand change your movement speed

minecraft-java-edition

I was wondering, are there any movement speed differences if you hold specific objects in your hand?

I'm interested even in a small movement speed difference, like, in decimals.

Best Answer

There are no objects or items that affect your movement speed while held, but there are certain objects that will affect your movement speed when used:

  • When thrown, ender pearls will teleport you to the location at which they land (1.9-pre2+)
  • You can craft potions of swiftness that will increase your speed for a short period of time (1.9-pre3+)

There are also environmental effects and actions that modify your movement speed:
