Slowness - minecraft.fandom.com

Slowness is an effect that decreases walking speed.

Effect[]

Slowness decreases walking speed by 15% × level and contracts the player's field of view accordingly. Negative levels of Slowness increase walking speed. However, sprinting-jumping is barely affected.

Causes[]

Brewing[]

Unaffected mobs[]

Withers and ender dragons are immune to the Slowness effect. While not immune, flying mobs are unaffected by the Slowness effect.^[1] Shulkers are also unaffected by, though not immune to, Slowness.

Notes[]

• A weapon enchanted with Bane of Arthropods inflicts Slowness IV on spiders, cave spiders, silverfish, endermites and bees; duration is dependent on the enchantment level.
• Levels 7–127 render the player unable to move unless jumping while throwing an ender pearl.
• Alternative methods of reducing travel speed include: walking on soul sands, slime blocks, or honey blocks, or through berry bushes or cobwebs; swimming; riding a boat on land; sneaking; eating; drinking honey bottle, milk or a potion (travel speed is reduced while drinking any potion, regardless of the effects of the potion after drinking is finished); aiming a trident or bow, charging crossbow and blocking with a shield.
