Speed
Speed increases the Player's ground speed, making them move 20% faster per level of speed.

Speed does not affect movement while airborne, therefore sprint-jumping becomes less efficient the higher the level of speed (for Speed II, it is generally slower to sprint-jump than to simply run)

The speed is presented in meters per tick (m/t). To get the speed in m/s, simply multiply by 20.

To get the max ground speed for 45° Strafe, divide by 0.98.

Slowness
Slowness slows the Player's ground speed, making them move 15% slower per level of slowness.

Slowness does not change movement while airborne, therefore sprint-jumping is more efficient.

The speed is presented in meters per tick (m/t). To get the speed in m/s, simply multiply by 20.

To get the max ground speed for 45° Strafe, divide by 0.98

Note: past level 7 (VII), Slowness completely stops the player in place.

Speed and Slowness Interaction
Speed and Slowness multipliers do not add, but rather multiply.

For example, if the Player has Speed III (+60%) and Slowness IV (-60%), The resulting bonus is not +0% as one might expect, but -34%.

Jump Boost
Jumping sets the Player's vertical speed to 0.42 by default.

The Jump Boost effect increases this initial vertical boost by 0.1 per level.

Here is a list of the max height the Player can reach for various speed levels. Note: In 1.9+, the default jump height is increased to 1.252m.
