	'''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.

	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:		Slimes move by hopping, which they do every 10 to 30 [[Minecraft:tick]]s (0.5 to 1.5 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:

	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. 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.

	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.
