Type	Positive

Haste is a status effect that increases mining efficiency and attack speed‌^{[Java Edition only]}.

Effect

In Java Edition, Haste increases mining speed by 20% per level and increases attack speed by 10% per level. In Bedrock Edition, Haste sets the mining speed to where is the level.

Causes

Cause	Potency	Length	Notes
Beacon set to Haste	I	0:05 – 0:17	Replenishes when in range.
Beacon set to Haste II	II	0:17	Replenishes when in range. Requires beacon pyramid level 4.

Immune mobs

• Withers and ender dragons are immune to Haste.
• All mobs are unaffected by Haste.

Interaction with Mining Fatigue

Mining Fatigue III inflicted by elder guardians prevents the player from instant mining most blocks regardless of the Haste effect, along with a huge decrease of mining speed. However, lower levels of Mining Fatigue can be overcome by Haste of level III or greater, with a resultant reduced Haste effect.

Trivia

• Above levels 5, the player's arm does not move while mining.
• An alternative method of increasing mining speed is the Efficiency enchantment. Its effects stack with Haste.
• Negative levels decrease mining and attack speed, similar to Mining Fatigue.
