This article is about the enchantment that increases underwater movement speed. For the mob that spawns in the Nether, see Strider.

Depth Strider is an armor enchantment that increases underwater movement speed.

Usage

Every level reduces the amount water slows the player by ⅓, including reducing the speed at which flowing water pushes the player when standing still. An armor stand carrying armor enchanted with Depth Strider also moves more slowly when being pushed by water.

Level 3 lets the player swim as fast as walking on land. Any higher level has a effect on speed. Also at level 3, a speed potion affects the player's swimming the same as walking.

Depth Strider can normally be applied only to boots. However, using commands, the enchantment still works if applied to other types of armor (such as a helmet).

Incompatibilities

Depth Strider and Frost Walker are mutually exclusive. However, if combined using commands, both enchantments function normally.
