Methods
NOTE: For speed measurements on any method of Transportation, all speeds are shown in SI Units. 1 m/s equals 3.2 ft/s and 1 km/h equals 0.621 MPH. It is important to remember that 1 block is 1 m3, therefore 1 m/s is equal to 1 block per second.

- ↑ Certain transportation methods are also valid methods of transportation if used in the Nether. Since one block in the Nether is equal to eight blocks in the Overworld, using the Nether for transportation effectively multiplies transportation speeds by eight.
- ↑ The time taken by a boat to reach maximum speed is 9.4 seconds—the difference in time between a running start and not, is half that, or 4.7 seconds.
- ↑ Horses vary in speed. They are the fastest method of transportation on open terrain, even faster than flying in creative mode.
- ↑ The swimming speeds are not affected by Swiftness potions. The surface speed refers to "skimming" across the top of the water by holding the spacebar.
- ↑ Underwater refers to any part of the body submerged in water and walking on flat terrain. The Player travels the same speed regardless of if the water is 1 block deep or 2 (in observed cases).
- ↑ Flying speed can be varied.

Each additional level of
Speed allows the player to walk at nearly the sprinting speed of the previous level, and sprinting with Speed II allows the player to keep pace with a minecart on fully powered rail. With adequate food and potion supplies, sprinting may be more cost-effective than building high-speed transportation systems.

Vertical transportation
There are some examples of purely vertical transportation methods:
- ↑ The player can jump up a distance of 11⁄4 blocks. With Jump Boost "Healing" redirects here. For health, see health. Contents 1 Behavior 2 Summary of effects 3 List of effects 3.1 Absorption 3.2 Bad Luck 3.3 Blindness 3.4 Fire Resistance 3.5 Glowing 3.6 Haste 3.7 Health Boost I, that increases to 115⁄16 blocks, and with Jump Boost II, that increases to 21⁄2 blocks.
Falling speed is more complex: Every tick (1⁄20 second), non-flying players and mobs have their vertical speed decremented (less upward motion, more downward motion) by 0.08 blocks per tick (1.6 m/s), then multiplied by 0.98. This would produce a terminal velocity of 3.92 blocks per tick, or 78.4 m/s. Be that as it may, the sky isn`t quite high enough for that: Falling from layer 256 to bedrock takes about 5.5 seconds, with impact at 3.5 blocks per tick (70 m/s). (In creative mode, you can fly higher, and could potentially reach terminal velocity falling from "above the sky".)
A function to calculate the speed of a (free)falling player is the following: v(t) = (0.98t - 1) ⃗ 3.92. The velocity v is in blocks/tick (or meters/tick), and the time t is in ticks. The usual downward velocity will be negative.
Integrating the previous yields a formula to find the distance fallen by tick: d(t) = 3.92 ⃗ (99 - 49.50⃗(0.98t+1) - t) . Again, distance fallen is negative.

- Standing next to an explosion will send you flying for a certain distance, depending on the strength of the explosion.
- Not recommended in Survival mode.
- It is possible to mount minecarts and boats as long as they are within 4-5 blocks (inclusive) from the player. Placing minecarts in a straight line allows for extremely fast transport. This also works with saddled pigs, provided they stay in position (placed on posts).

showBoats
Boats are small, wooden crafts that are used to cross bodies of water. They are crafted with 5 Wooden Planks.
Minecarts
Minecarts are rideable carts that run on Rails. They are crafted with 5 Iron Ingots. There are multiple variants of minecarts, including Minecart with a chest, a Minecart with TNT, a Minecar with a Hopper, a Minecart with a furnace, and a Minecart with a Command Block.
Horses
Horses are a tamable₠Mob that when tamed, can be equipped with a saddle and ridden. They are by far the fastest mode of transportation in Minecraft. Horses also have the capability to jump very high. Horses can be found mainly in Plains biomes. Horses also have a chance to spawn as a Donkey. Donkeys can be equipped the same way horses can. However, they can also hold a chest with items in it.
Nether
Distance traveled in the Nether is in a ratio of 8:1 to the overworld. This means that walking through the Nether is faster than almost any mode of transport in the overworld. If minecarts, horses, or pigs are used in the Nether, then travel times will be reduced even more.
