Parkour Servers Guide: 5 jumps to master

Jump your way to victory on minecraft parkour servers. To win, you'll need to get pretty good at beating the obstacles. Here's how to beat every jump when playing on minecraft servers with parkour.

Sprint jumping

Jump in Minecraft while sprinting and you will be able to move just a bit faster than normal sprinting. This can be used to your advantage in parkour, where every centimeter can make the difference in the outcome of a round. Sprint over distances which would not have been possible beforehand. This is most common on flat maps with jumps of 2-3 blocks, as you can usually speedrun these types of maps by sprinting.

TIP: In newer versions of Minecraft, auto-jump is turned on by default. This causes your Minecraft character to jump up blocks whenever you are close enough. We recommended turning this off for Parkour as it can interfere with some courses. Head to Options -> Auto-jump: ON -> press to turn it off.

Ladder jumps

Did you know that you can jump on parkour and land on a ladder? Simply jump towards a ladder and crouch as you are about to land. You will notice that the ladder will catch you to stop you from falling! You can take advantage of this in Parkour to make huge jumps and still not die...

Don't crouch in the air as it will cause you to slow down!

Slime jumps

Slime blocks look exactly just like slime, but the block is very different. If you jump down onto a slime block, you will bounce back up into the air. To do this, don't press the jump key when landing on a slime block. If you do, it will break your fall and stop you from jumping. Slime jumps can be used to make it up huge heights and are scattered across our minecraft parkour server maps.

Stair jumps

When running up stairs in Minecraft, you can time your jumps in order to move up the stairs faster. Practice on a few staircases to get the hang of it, as it can be rather tricky to time it correctly at first. Once you've got it, it can be used to speedrun courses quicker and put you in a better position on the leaderboards! Will you reach the finish first?

Stairs can also be used to break your fall in Minecraft. When jumping from one spot to another, aim for stairs and crouch as you begin to land. However, don't do it in the air it may cause you to fall short. Once you've caught the jump you can simply unshift to continue the map as normal.

Ice jumps

Did you know that if you run on Ice in Minecraft you will go faster? Ice is 'slightly slippery' allowing you to slide across the block! This can be used in parkour as ice can allow you to sprint much more quickly! Be careful though, as the slippiness can make it harder to come to a stop at the end of a course. Make sure you are ready when jumping from an ice platform!
