How to find slimes in Minecraft?

To find a Slime, you need to go to either a Swamp biome, or delve underground into some caves . When you find slimes, be careful. Big slimes can quickly overwhelm you, as they split down into smaller slimes when killed. It's worth fighting them though, as small slimes are harmless and drop Slimeballs when they die.

What is the app that finds things in your Minecraft world?

MineAtlas is a biome map of your Minecraft world seed. It also works as a village finder, slime finder, ocean monument finder and other things finder. Load a saved game, enter a seed or get a random map to get started.

How to tell if a chunk is a slime chunk in f3?

Alternatively, utilize the existing F3 + G feature to highlight slime chunks with green borders , distinguishing them from regular chunks.

Does slime finder work for modded Minecraft?

Does the slime finder of chunkbase work if you have mods on? Slime chunks are seed based, not biome or world gen mod based, so yes .

What coordinates do slimes spawn at in Minecraft?

Slime spawning in swamps can occur between Y=51 and Y=69 .

How do you lure slimes in Minecraft?

Slimes can spawn in any light level, so you will need to light up the area. This can easily be done by placing jack-o-lanterns in the floor . They provide enough light, and slimes are able to spawn on top. For this farm, we placed five jack-o-lanterns in the slab platform.

Is every chunk a slime chunk?

"Slime chunks" Slimes spawn throughout the world (except mushroom fields and deep dark biomes) below level Y=40 regardless of light level, but only in certain chunks; 1 ⁄ 10 of all chunks .

Is there a command to find slime chunks?

1 Answer. The most efficient way to find a slime chunk is to go underground below Y-40 and create tunnels big enough to spawn small and medium slimes. A trick that you can do is to click the key combination f3+Q followed by f3+G .

Why won't slime spawn in slime chunk?

Slimes won't spawn if a player is within 24 blocks of the spawn area , and they will de-spawn if a player is 32 or more blocks away. Wait for a full moon. Slimes spawn most frequently during a full moon, so you may want to build a small shack with a bed nearby and wait for the full moon part of the cycle.

Are Minecraft slimes rare?

In Minecraft, Chunks are represented as a 16 by 16 block area on the horizontal axis. The slime chunks are specific chunks that are rare and consist of only 10% of Minecraft world chunks.

Where are slimes most commonly found in Minecraft?

Slimes spawn in the Overworld in specific "slime chunks" below layer 40 , regardless of light levels. They can also spawn in swamp biomes between layers 51 and 69 (inclusive) in light levels of 7 or less, with these layers tending to be near the surface. Slimes spawn regardless of weather conditions.

Is there any other way to get slimeballs in Minecraft?

Slimeballs can now be obtained when a baby panda sneezes . Slimeballs can now be bought from wandering traders.

Do slimes only spawn at night?

What mode do slimes spawn?

Slimes spawn in random underground chunks below Y=39 at any light level , and can also spawn in Swamp Biomes at night depending on the phase of the Moon. They spawn more frequently during a full Moon, and never spawn during a new Moon.

Slime Finder - Minecraft App (2024)

Background

Apart from spawning in swamps (added in 1.4), slimes can only spawn in every 10th chunk in average ("Slime Chunks"). Chunks are 16x16 blocks wide (x and z axis) and 256 blocks high (y axis). Slime Chunks are predetermined by your savegame seed, and are always the same for a specific seed, just like the generated terrain. The only way to find Slime Chunks ingame without using third party apps or mods is to observe the slime spawns.

Does Slime Finder work with Bedrock Edition?

Yes! Make sure to select Bedrock as the version.

Does it work in superflat worlds?

Yes :)

No slimes are spawning in my slime chunk!

First of all, even in slime chunks, slimes spawn far less frequently than most other hostiles, maybe comparable to endermen. So make sure you wait long enough. Also, double check the seed you used as well as the coordinates. Here are a few more things to consider:

In slime chunks, slimes only spawn on layer 39 and below (feet pos). The spawn rate is equal on those layers.
Mobs can't spawn closer than 24m to you (but despawn when farther away than 128m), so don't stand too close to where you expect them to spawn
It's a good idea to hollow out a 16x16 wide (= 1 chunk) and at least 3 blocks high room inside a slime chunk to maximize the spawn rate. Waiting in naturally generated caves and hallways will take much longer.
Use lighting to prevent other mobs from spawning (light has no effect on slime spawning in slime chunks). But don't use torches on the ground or glowstone, as these blocks will reduce the spawn rate. You can safely use Jack-O-Lanterns or Redstone Lamps + Redstone Blocks.
Sometimes, hostile mob spawning may be jammed by mobs that don't despawn automatically. If that happens, you should walk about 200m in any direction and then come back in order to force them to despawn.
Mobs cannot spawn on bedrock (see Block Compendium)
Slimes don't spawn on peaceful
Slimes don't spawn in mushroom island biomes

Also have a look at my Slime Farming Tutorial which explains some details about slime spawning as well.

Requirements

Seed

For the reason mentioned above, you need to know the seed of your world to use Slime Finder, unless, of course, you want to find a seed for a new world. If you're playing SSP, the app is able to fetch the seed from your savegame. Alternatively, you can use the /seed command ingame. In SMP, you can use the same command if you have sufficient rights. Otherwise, however, you're dependent on the server owner, who started the world and has access to the savegame and config files.

Technical

This app uses some relatively new web technologies. As a result, some features may be disabled for older browsers. I recommend using the latest version of a major browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.

Usage

Map Controls

Mouse

Drag: move the map
Mouse wheel: adjust zoom level
Right-click: set a red pin and fill in the coordinate inputs below the map
Double click: toggle expanded map view

Keyboard

Arrow keys: move the map (mouse cursor must be over the map)
R key: randomize seed (mouse cursor must be over the map)
Escape key: disable expanded view

Touchscreen

Drag: move the map
Tap: show coordinates below the map
Pinch: adjust zoom level
Tap and hold: set a red pin and fill in the coordinate inputs below the map
Double tap: toggle expanded map view

Seed Selection

The first thing you should do is select a seed and version. You can either type it in manually, or you can load it from your savegame. The latter can be done by clicking on "Load from Save..." and selecting your level.dat, or by drag&dropping the level.dat file into your browser window. Level.dat is a small file located in the folder of every Minecraft savegame. You can find the savegames in the saves folder of your Minecraft installation. On Windows you can use %appdata%\.minecraft\saves to get to that folder.

You should also know that a seed is always a number (up to around 20 digits). If you type in anything else (like letters), it will be converted to a number. The app does this the same way Minecraft does, so it's safe to use letters (and other characters) as well.
