Depth Strider

Maximum level	III
Primary items
Secondary items	None
Enchantment weight	2
Incompatible with	Frost Walker

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 no 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.
