Why use Faster Paths Data Pack?

This data pack turns overlooked terrain features into vital parts of your infrastructure. If you’ve built villages, cities, or sprawling bases with path blocks as walkways, Faster Paths instantly adds utility to those routes. Instead of relying on potions or beacon effects, you’ll have a passive speed boost tied directly to your layout, encouraging thoughtful road design. It’s also great for adventure maps or multiplayer servers where fast movement needs to be rewarded without handing players overpowered items. Simple, compatible, and performance-friendly this is the kind of enhancement that makes Minecraft feel smarter without changing its vanilla feel.

FAQs

Does this pack require commands or mods to function?

No, it’s a standalone data pack. Once installed in your world’s datapack folder, it runs automatically.

Can I stack this with other speed effects?

Yes, but Minecraft will prioritize the strongest effect. So if you already have Speed III, the Speed II from this pack will not override it.

Is this compatible with multiplayer?

Yes, it works perfectly on servers that support vanilla data packs. Just install it in the world folder and run /reload if needed.

How do I install it?

Download the data pack and place the ZIP file into the datapacks folder of your world. Then use /reload or reopen the world to activate it.
