Evilrockstar13 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Does anyone know of a way to figure out where slimes will spawn? Right now I have a room that is 42x42x6 down at bedrock. I was hoping that would be big enough to give me a good chance but now that I think about it I think i'm going to have to make it a whole lot bigger. Any advice?

Burnout x360a Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Slimes are quite rare to find, they only spawn in levels 40 and below and only in certain chunks that are determined randomly by the worlds seed. About 10% of the chunks will have the capability to spawn slimes so it's a lot of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDrules Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i could gve the algorithm and a bunch of tools that show you but all would be pretty useless until you can see co ords right now all you can do is wait until you find them underground then build a farm from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 What are slimes and what use are they? Do they drop any loot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDrules Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 What are slimes and what use are they? Do they drop any loot? theyre a hostile mob and they drop slime balls, they arent any use at the moment but when the next feature update comes they will be used to make sticky pistons, the single greatest thing in minecraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORDAN K 95 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 dig a large area around bedrock 3 blocks tall = slimes http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250690_3781411627778_1762288471_n.jpg ive killed over 500 slimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawl Kirby Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 so torches do not affect their spawning? also thanks for the pic in general so I have to dig around some more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDrules Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 so torches do not affect their spawning? also thanks for the pic in general so I have to dig around some more lol no, slimes can spawn in any light level but what he said doesnt guarantee slimes, doing that you would just have to get lucky and be in a slime spawning chunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilrockstar13 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thank you for all the replies, looks like i've got a lot of digging to do to hope I get lucky xD. We've already found an area that spawns them but we're not sure where. in the early days of our world me and my friends made this underground tunnel system for mining purposes. I guess we must have crossed into a slim chunk at one point but trying to run around in these tunnels looking for the spawn would be very tedious. Hopefully the new area I am digging up will be worth it.(even if no slimes 18 diamonds is fine by me xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrj3d Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I've never seen a slime. Have to get digging by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Branford Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've had it pointed out to me that in Beta Version 1.6.6, Slime Chunks only exist in Layer 16 and below... not Layer 40 and below. The Layers didn't change until 1.9. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Slime#History Before Beta 1.9 Pre-release 5, Slimes only appeared in the bottom 16 layers of the map regardless of light levels or time of day, often in large caverns or open mines.

HugTheBear Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) dig a large area around bedrock 3 blocks tall = slimes. (VIDEO) ive killed over 500 slimes Thanks for sharing the picture man. I got over 30 slime kills in about an hour using this method (not counting the time it took to dig the area).

d0ct0rscarecr0w Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've been digging tunnels deep and I even did that when I played 1.8 and never found a single slime. do they only show up in larger caves? is their spawn effected by torches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not affected by torches, they are the only hostile mob that is able to spawn in light. They also only spawn <Y40. Also they only spawn 1/10th as often as the other hostile mobs so any areas around the area that are dark (light level 7 or below) will keep the slime spawning chances low as the other hostile mobs have a higher chance of spawning. Lighting these dark areas up will increase likelihood of slime spawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDrules Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 To be honest I don't even understand this in the slightest way lol its just a really long sum to define what "random" is with regards to the minecraft slime spawns honestly it looks more complicated than it is basically its 2 variables per axis, if all of them are correct at the co ordinates of that chunk then theres slimes there and its done with the "seed" variable there to make it change per seed so that its not the same in every world. making it hard to work out but not impossible though youd have to write some sort of program to detect it (theres quite alot available but the best was already posted so i didnt bother) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
