I tried running on soul soil (editted) in two different diamond boots, one with soul speed 2 frost walker and the other with soul speed two depth strider on dry land in a 200 block long tunnel and neither worked. The speed was the same as wearing no boots.
Other players in my server also report that the 'drag' from not having soul speed has gone too.

it is on a server so you'll need an aternos account to download it. I have golden helmet in my dms so i could probably link it up for him to download for you if that's ok?

works ok in single player

I could not reproduce in my test world, in either creative or survival, and with and without EDU enabled. My guess is that itβs triggered by an add-on. If you canβt link to copy of the world, could you make a video?

Hi guys, finally managed to get this download sorted out.
The link is:
now removed as it appears to be an issue with bds and not the world itself or any add-ons that it uses as per the next comment.
Please note that it didn't happen in a new world (only tested that in single player) but this world was upgraded
I just opened the world in single player and went to the same soul soil run and it worked fine with a set of soul speed boots I had left in a chest for testing.
However, in BDS (1.17.31.01 linux) I still have the same issue, so will try reinstalling the server and will try again. I won't upload the sp world until after that step.

There was no change after reinstalling the server. I then restarted the server to no avail. I then uploaded the copy that I had downloaded and successfully opened in single player but that didn't work either.
However, I did find a differentiator. Soul sand works ok. I didn't have a soul sand path, so I had nowhere to test it but laying new soul sand worked fine, however, soul soil is definitely bugged. Even laying new soul soil makes no difference.
With the above in mind, I'm going to remove the uploaded file from the online drive since I suspect that this issue should now be reproducible on any linux bds server at the very least.

Do you have server authoritative movement to true or false? Does toggling that change anything?

Yes, can confirm that the issue goes away with server authoritative movement switched on. However, this setting has proved dangerous in the past (players being dragged back into situations they thought they escaped from, etc) and soul soil was working perfectly prior to 1.17.30 with client authoritative movement on.
BDS-4965 does seem relative and I can can confirm that one too

Soul speed doesn't work on soul sand too as of 1.18.2 and above
Resolving this as CR as we are no longer able to reproduce this bug.
If this is still an issue please remake the bug report and include detailed reproduction steps, as well as a video showcasing the bug.
