[[File:Makena Walking.png|150px|right]]'''Walking''' is one of the fundamental methods of [[transportation]] in ''[[Minecraft]]'', allowing for a reasonable movement speed while avoiding the [[hunger]] impact of [[sprinting]], but without the fall safety of [[sneaking]].

== Performing ==
Walking is possible regardless of hunger level, and can be prevented only via obstruction from a hitbox with collision (most [[block]]s and [[entities]]), with a sufficiently high level of [[Slowness]] or if the player is in [[Spectator|Spectator Mode]].
{{See also|Controls}}

=== Keyboard ===
On a keyboard, walking is accomplished by pressing the assigned key to move {{control|forward}}, {{control|backward}}, {{control|left}} or {{control|right}} (W, S, A and D respectively). Multiple adjacent keys can also be used simultaneously to walk in a diagonal direction, but opposite keys cancel out.

=== Controller ===
{{Exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
On a controller, walking is accomplished by moving the joystick in the appropriate direction. The player walks at an angle equal to the angle of the joystick relative to the direction the camera is facing. A D-pad can also be used for keyboard movement.

=== Touchscreen ===
{{Exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
On a touchscreen, a virtual touch-based D-pad or joystick can be used. There is a setting in Settings > Controls > Touch to change this.<!-- And for some reason it's not actually listed on the wiki?! -->

== Usage ==
The default walking speed is 4.317 blocks per second (or 0.1 <code>minecraft:generic.movement_speed</code>). {{In|Java}} and
{{in|bedrock}},{{more info|How do you translate b/s into minecraft:generic.movement.speed}}

Walking speed can be modified by different factors such as [[block]]s, [[effect]]s, [[Controls|using an item]] and [[enchantments]].
