Slime balls are one of the most used items by redstone engineers in Minecraft. Using slime balls, players can make pistons and slime blocks. These blocks are essential to many redstone contraptions, like hopper clocks, TNT dupers, TNT launchers, etc.
Slimes are the primary source of slime balls in Minecraft. Players can get a maximum of five slime balls by killing this mob.
Slimes are one of the few mobs with specific spawning conditions. These bouncy mobs can spawn in swamp biomes on the surface when the light level is below 7.
However, waiting for them to spawn in swamp biomes can be slow and inefficient. With that in mind, the best way to farm slimes is by using slime chunks in Minecraft.
Slime chunks in Minecraft
Slime chunks are special as they provide a high chance of spawning slime. However, not every chunk is a slime chunk. In Minecraft Java Edition, slime chunks are generated pseudo-randomly and are different for every seed.
However, these chunks have the exact same coordinates across all seeds in Bedrock Edition.
Finding slime chunks
</figcaption></figure>
<p>In slime chunks, slimes can spawn below Y level 40 even if the light level is higher than 7. To find slime chunks, players have to dig deep down to Y level 30 and mine out a 4-block tall area. They can use F3+G to see the chunk borders in Java Edition.</p>
<p>They can use beacons with haste effect and pickaxes enchanted with Efficiency to quickly mine out stone blocks. After mining out the area, they will have to mark out chunk borders using fences.</p>
