Slimes are very useful mobs in Minecraft as killing them drops slimeballs you can use to craft various items. However, finding slimes is not that easy as they spawn only in swamps.
But that is not the only place Slimes spawn; some chunks naturally have a higher spawn rate of slime. However, it is not easy to find these chunks as they generate pseudo-randomly in each world.
In layman’s terms, Slime chunks are chunks that can spawn slime abundantly. You can use these chunks for farming as much slime as you need.
Although the slime chunks generate randomly and are different every time, the Y level is always 40. You can follow the guide below to get yourself a slime chunk.
- First, dig until you are in Y 30. You can press F3 and view the debug information at the top left of the screen.
- Once you are in Y 30, dig out a four-by-four area.
- Press F3 + G to view the chunk borders.
- Once you activate the chunk borders, you can keep digging out the area and widen it with the same four-block height.
- Use fences on the edge of all the chunks. The yellow and blue lines around you are the chunk borders. Make sure not to leave a space.
- Once you have separated and fenced a few chunks, go 24 blocks away from the cave you just dug.
- Wait for a few mins and return to the same place.
- If you see any Slime spawned inside a fenced area, you can rest assured that it is our slime chunk.
- However, if there are no slime spawns, repeat the process until you get a chunk that starts spawning Slimes.
It is best to keep in mind that it is not easy to find slime chunks. You will have to do a lot of digging. You may also break quite a few pickaxes during the process. The whole method is tiring and time-consuming. You can set up a beacon with haste so that you can mine faster as well.
