	'''Slimes''' are cube-shaped [[Minecraft:hostile mob]]s that spawn deep underground in particular [[Minecraft:chunk]]s, aboveground in [[Minecraft:swamp]]s, or when an [[Minecraft:Oozing]]-affected [[Minecraft:entity]] dies (~~except when~~ it's a slime). They move by jumping, chasing after their targets, and usually dealing [[Minecraft:damage]] on touch. Slimes spawn in different sizes, and larger ones split into smaller ones on death.

	Unlike most [[Minecraft:mobs]], slimes do not pathfind toward their target, always approaching their target in a straight line without avoiding environmental hazards such as [[Minecraft:lava]], [[Minecraft:cactus]] or dangerous falls. This means they can easily get stuck in corners or behind walls, not knowing how to circumvent them. This behavior is shared by [[Minecraft:magma cube]]s.

	A slime's maximum health is equal to its size squared, and its dimensions are 0.51 [[Minecraft:blocks]] ~~times its size~~ in each ~~dimension~~.

A slime's maximum health is equal to its size squared, and its dimensions are calculated by multiplying its size plus one by 0.52 [[Minecraft:blocks\|block]], so that small slimes are 0.52 block in each direction, and large ones are 2.08 blocks.

	A slime's jump distance also depends on its size; a slime jumps a distance slightly farther than its length. When landing, a number (8 times the slime's size) of slime particles appear. Regardless of size, slimes always jump 1 block high.		A slime's jump distance also depends on its size; a slime jumps a distance slightly farther than its length.
