There are many ways to get around in Minecraft, from boats to mine carts, but did you know that you can travel even faster on foot? That's right, by creating a running track, players can run at super speeds! Not only is it the single fastest way to travel, it's easy to build as well. No redstone wires required.

How to Create a Super Speed Running Track in Minecraft

The super speed track works by creating a uniquely small space between the ground below the player and the space above him. When one runs along this unusually tight space, holding "jump", the player jumps at a rapid rate, creating an up and down bounce that effectively moves the player along at almost twice the normal speed, almost like a bouncy ball ricocheting in between two walls.

Step 1 Place Ice as the Ground for Your Track

Step 2 Place Trap Doors

Step 3 Place Glass Above the Track

Step 4 Run On Your Track!

Players running along these tracks have been clocked at over 16 blocks per second. That's twice as fast as a mine cart on a powered rail!
