How to get it
- Kill tiny slimes: 0-2 slimeballs, up to 5 with Looting III - slimes spawn in slime chunks below Y=40 or in swamps at night (peaks at full moon)
- Baby pandas have a rare chance to sneeze out a slimeball
- Slime farms on slime chunks are the bulk source
Uses
- Sticky pistons (the heart of most redstone contraptions)
- Slime blocks (9 slimeballs) for flying machines, bounce pads and entity launchers
- Leads (4 string + 1 slimeball) and magma cream (with blaze powder)
Renewability
Renewable via slime farms and panda farms.
Java vs Bedrock
Slime chunk locations are identical between editions for the same seed. Swamp spawning depends on the moon phase in both editions.
