❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why do I see both blocks/tick and b/s on the same line?

This is Smart Consolidation Mode. When both vanilla's native player_speed (blocks/tick) and Speedometer's speedometer (b/s) are enabled in the F3 + F6 menu, Speedometer combines them into one clean line: Speed: 0.215 blocks/tick, 4.30 b/s (H: 4.30, V: 0.00).

Q2: How can I show ONLY blocks per second (b/s)?

1. Press F3 + F6 to open Debug Options.
2. Set player_speed to OFF.
3. Set speedometer to In Overlay.

Q3: Does Speedometer work when riding horses or boats?

Yes. Speedometer automatically tracks the velocity of whatever entity your camera is attached to (boats, minecarts, horses, pigs, or spectator targets).
