How to Drop Faster with Slow Falling and Auto-Step Blocks

Movement-enhancing effects can sometimes slow you down when descending tall shafts or crossing uneven hills. Convenient Effects refines both Slow Falling and Jump Boost to keep traversal smooth and responsive.

Controlling Fall Speed During Descents

1. Brew a Potion of Slow Falling using Nether Wart and a Phantom Membrane, then drink it before navigating deep caves, climbing steep builds, or approaching an Elytra landing zone.

2. Let the standard Slow Falling glide carry you across gaps when you need horizontal distance.

3. Hold your Sneak key whenever you want to drop straight down more quickly. Sneaking temporarily increases your fall speed without reintroducing fall damage.

4. Release Sneak right before touching the ground or let yourself land while sneaking—either way, you take zero impact damage.

Stepping Up Full Blocks with Jump Boost

1. Activate Jump Boost at level 2 or higher. You can get this by brewing a Potion of Leaping with a Rabbit's Foot and upgrading it with Glowstone Dust, or by selecting Jump Boost II on a four-tier Beacon.

2. Walk straight into one-block elevation changes while exploring rough terrain or running parkour courses.

3. Leave the Jump key unpressed on single-block ledges; at level 2 or above, your character steps up full blocks automatically without needing to jump.
