'''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. They move by jumping, chase after their targets, and usually deal [[Minecraft:damage]] on touch. Slimes spawn in different sizes, and larger ones split into smaller ones on death.

== Spawning ==
{{See also|Tutorial:Slime farming}}
Slimes spawn naturally in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. A fourth size, known as semi-large, only spawns from [[Minecraft:trial spawner]]s and never naturally. Slimes have an [[Minecraft:NBT]] tag, {{nbt|byte|Size}}, which determines their size. Small, medium, and big slimes have their <code>Size</code> set to {{cd|0|1|3|d=and}} respectively. Using the {{command|summon}} or {{command|data}} commands, a slime can be given any <code>Size</code> in the range from {{cd|0|126|d= to }} (inclusive).{{verify|edition=bedrock|Is there a different maximum size in Bedrock Edition, and if so what is it?}}


A slime needs a space of 2.04×2.04×2.04 blocks to spawn, which must be clear of solid and liquid obstructions. When a slime attempts to spawn, the game checks to see if the space requirement is followed. Therefore, small and medium slimes are not able to spawn in 2-block tall areas even though it would normally be enough room for other small mobs. Any block within the space, even a [[Minecraft:glass pane]], can prevent slimes from spawning.
[[File:2.04x2.04.png|300px|thumb|A 2.04 x 2.04 x 2.04 block space.]]
* A [[Minecraft:button]] or any block without a collision hitbox can prevent a mob from spawning on the block below it, but does not count as an obstruction. This is because the game looks for an [[Minecraft:air]] block above it when trying to spawn a mob.
* {{IN|Java}}, the space is centered on the top face of the block the slime spawns on.
** It should be noted that a [[Minecraft:trapdoor]] is treated like a full-block when the game looks for space to spawn mobs. Therefore, the effective spawning space the slime needs is 3×2.1×3 blocks.
* {{IN|Bedrock}}, the space is centered in the northwest corner of a block. This means the effective spawning region is 2×2×2 blocks.{{verify|edition=bedrock|Mobs spawn in the northwest corner, and therefore the spawning area should be different. Also, can a chest obstruct slime spawning in the 3×1×3 block square containing the chest in the southeasy corder? If so, then this needs say the effective region is the same as the region the game checks.}}

The random distribution of slime sizes is affected by [[Minecraft:regional difficulty]]: chances range from 33% for each size at the low difficulty to 16% small, 33% medium, and 50% big with higher difficulty.

{{Mob spawn table}}

=== Swamps ===
Slimes can spawn in [[Minecraft:swamp]]s and [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s between the altitudes of Y=51 and Y=69 (inclusive) when the provided light level is 7 or less. They spawn most often on a [[Minecraft:Moon#Phases|full moon]], and never on a new moon.

More precisely, the game checks two factors:

# If the light level is equal to or less than a random integer (from 0 to 7)
# If the fraction of the moon that is bright is greater than a random number (from 0 to 1)

If these conditions are met and the altitude is acceptable, there is a 50% chance of spawning a slime.

The light level requirement for slime spawning in swamps is different from that of most hostile mobs, which spawn only at light level 0.<ref>{{bug|MC-252424||Slimes spawn at light levels greater then 0 in Swamps|WAI}}</ref> This allows slimes in swamps to spawn in dimly-lit areas where most hostile mobs can't, allowing swamp-based slime farms to be built.

=== Slime chunks ===
{{anchor|Low layers}}

Slimes spawn in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] in slime chunks below the [[Minecraft:altitude|layer]] of Y=40 in groups of four{{Only|Java|short=JE}} or individually{{Only|Bedrock|short=BE}}, regardless of the [[Minecraft:Light#Light level|lighting]] or [[Minecraft:weather]] conditions.

About {{frac|1|10}} of all [[Minecraft:chunks]] are generated as slime chunks, but they are not determined randomly. An algorithm is used to determine whether each chunk is a slime chunk. {{IN|je}}, whether a chunk at a particular set of coordinates becomes a slime chunk is determined by the world's [[Minecraft:Seed (world generation)|seed]]. {{IN|be}}, however, they are generated at the same coordinates in every world.

{{Calculator|chunkbase|pois=Sc|zoom=1.1|terrain=false}}

==== ''Java Edition'' ====
{{IN|java}}, slime chunks are determined pseudo-randomly by combining their chunk coordinates with the [[Minecraft:Seed (world generation)|seed of the world]].

This Java code can be used to print a message to the terminal indicating whether one specific chunk is a slime chunk.

<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
import java.util.Random;

public class CheckSlimechunk {

public static void main(String args[]) {
// The worldseed from /seed.
// Only the lowest 48 bits of the worldseed in binary
// actually affect slime chunk placement.
long seed = 12345L;
int chunkX = 12; // Chunk coordinates = floor(block coordinate/16)
int chunkZ = -3; // Chunk coordinates = floor(block coordinate/16)

Random rnd = new Random(
(
seed +
(int) (chunkX * chunkX * 0x4c1906) +
(int) (chunkX * 0x5ac0db) +
(int) (chunkZ * chunkZ) * 0x4307a7L +
(int) (chunkZ * 0x5f24f)
) ^ 0x3ad8025fL
);
System.out.println(rnd.nextInt(10) == 0);
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The chunk coordinates and the world seed are combined to make a specific RNG seed to generate a random integer between 0 and 9 (inclusive). If the random integer is 0, then the chunk is a slime chunk. World coordinates can be converted to chunk coordinates by dividing by 16 and then rounding down. The world coordinates and the chunk coordinates are both 32-bit integers (instances of <code>int</code>).

==== ''Bedrock Edition'' ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, the algorithm does not depend on the world seed, so the chunks that slimes can naturally spawn in inhabit the same coordinates for every world.<ref>The Bedrock Edition slime chunk algorithm was reverse engineered by @protolambda and @jocopa3 and can be found on GitHub:[https://github.com/depressed-pho/slime-finder-pe]</ref>

=== Trial spawners ===
Each [[Minecraft:trial chamber]]s structure has a 25% chance to select slimes as the "small melee" mob for its [[Minecraft:trial spawner]]s. This means only about 25% of trial chambers contain slime spawners within them.

Slimes from trial spawners spawn in sizes {{cd|1}} (medium) and {{cd|2}} (semi-large), unlike slimes that spawn in slime chunks and swamps, which come in sizes {{cd|0}}, {{cd|1}} and {{cd|3}} respectively.<ref>{{bug|MC-266502||Trial spawners spawn slimes of "Size: 2" which otherwise never spawn|WAI}}</ref>

During [[Minecraft:ominous trial]]s, each [[Minecraft:ominous trial spawner]] has a {{frac|1|7}} chance to dispense [[Minecraft:lingering potion]]s of Oozing, which spawn two medium slimes upon an affected entity's death. Any type of ominous trial spawner can dispense Oozing potions, regardless of the mob type it spawns.

=== Potions ===
If an entity inflicted with the [[Minecraft:Oozing]] effect dies, two medium-sized slimes appear at its death location.

{{IN|java}}, Oozing only spawns slimes in a 5×5×5 cube up to the maximum [[Minecraft:entity cramming]] count (default to 24).

== Drops ==
=== On death ===
From a single large slime, a player can expect an [[Minecraft:experience]] and [[Minecraft:slimeball]] yield of 12-28 and 0-32, respectively. The average yield from a single large slime is usually around 19 [[Minecraft:experience]] and 9 [[Minecraft:Slimeball|slimeballs]].
==== Large slime ====
*Spawns two to four medium slimes on death
*{{xp|4}} when killed by the player

==== Medium slime ====
*Spawns two to four small slimes on death
*{{xp|2}} when killed by the player
==== Small slime ====

== Behavior ==
[[File:Slime.gif|160px|thumb|A slime jumping.]]
Slimes move by hopping, which they do every 10 to 30 [[Minecraft:tick]]s ({{fraction|1|2}} to {{fraction|1|1|2}} seconds). They can swim in water and climb ladders and scaffolding. Unlike other mobs, slimes continue moving when no players are nearby. Their exact routine is as follows:

The slime searches for a [[Minecraft:player]] (or, failing that, an [[Minecraft:iron golem]]) within 16 blocks (spherical) distance.
* If no target is found, the slime waits 10 to 30 ticks ({{frac|1|2}} to {{frac|1|1|2}} seconds) between jumps, and changes direction randomly every 40 to 100 ticks (2 to 5 seconds).
* If a target is found, the delay before jumping is {{fraction|1|3}} as long (3 to 10 ticks), and the slime's direction is set directly toward the target before jumping.

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. When a slime attacks, it deals damage equal to its size, except for size 0 (smallest) slimes, which do no damage, and do not prevent [[Minecraft:sleeping]]. Because small slimes still have a hostile AI, they continuously try to attack the player.

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.

When a slime larger than 0 dies, it spawns 2-4 new slimes equivalent to its size divided by 2, rounding down. A slime that was named with a [[Minecraft:name tag]] produces smaller slimes with the same name when it dies.

Slimes continuously damage all players, [[Minecraft:snow golems]]{{only|bedrock}}, and [[Minecraft:iron golems]] they collide with (although [[Minecraft:damage immunity]] reduces the actual damage to 1 attack every half second), unlike other mobs that damage only those targets they specifically attack<ref>{{bug|MC-131426||Slimes have little to no attack cooldown}}</ref> and as a result they deal damage about twice as quickly as other mobs.

Slimes in [[Minecraft:water]] attempt to swim to the surface if possible. If forced to stay submerged, they eventually drown, splitting into smaller slimes that drown and finally drop slimeballs.

Slimes are immune to [[Minecraft:Oozing]].

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Because a slime's movement speed is tied to its size, it becomes impossible for the player to outrun a size 8 slime on flat ground without potion effects.
* When a slime searches for nearby targets or checks to see if it should despawn, it checks from a point at the center of its hitbox on the x and z-axis and the bottom of its y-axis. Therefore, a custom-size slime sufficiently huge can be right in front of the player and be completely passive, and it may even despawn if the slime is large enough.
* Green-colored slimes are also present in ''[[Minecraft:Minicraft]]'', a 2D ''Minecraft''-inspired game also created by Notch.
*A player inside a slime can see the slime itself inside of a slime block.
*Slimes breaking apart to form smaller, independent slimes resembles the real-life form of asexual reproduction known as [[Minecraft:w:Fragmentation (reproduction)|fragmentation]].
