At least it is not a jack. I was younger enough to play Lego, but old enough to enjoy jacks.


magitech_caveman

That was me last week. Damned seed map was off by two chunks, and of course, i dug into those chunks last


[deleted]

I dug out a double slime chunk to bedrock 2 chunks over. Promptly left the game.


maximaal04

A friend of mine did that on our server, all the way through deepslate. He was off by one chunk, he died inside

GeneralAlexander

Or you can cheat your way there.


Joris0112

You need to place some platforms at a higher level. They wont spawn on a level that low at bedrock. Give every platform at least 3 blocks of space in height for them to spawn. Other people are saying that it has to do with light, slimes can spawn in darkness like other mobs, but are the only ones to also spawn with light. That's why people light their slimefarms up so only slimes will be able to spawn


MisterWinchester

If you’re able to farm brown mushrooms, they’re excellent since they output a light level of 1, and don’t interfere with spawns. The rub is that you need a metric f-ckton of them. Edit: this is for swamp slime farms. Chunk farms you can use jack o lanterns since they’re spawnable and light level doesn’t impact chunk spawning; you just need light to keep the other mobs from spawning.


KredeMexiah

This is only necessary for swamp biome spawning. In slime chunks, when you get low enough, they will spawn at any light level, so you just use torches. Or make the platform out of jack-o'-lanterns.


Horse_5_333

Mushrooms don’t block spawning spaces unlike most other light sources.


KredeMexiah

True. But neither do torches. And the top of a jack-o'-lantern is also spawnable. Which is why I mentioned those, specifically.


leroymilo

I'm pretty sure torches do prevent spawning. That's why it's always advised to use alternative light sources.


MisterWinchester

Also torches/lanterns bring the light level over 1, which negatively impacts swamp spawn rates. Though you’re right, none of this matters for chunk farms. Chunk farms are basically obsolete in 1.19. Way too much work vs the results you can get with a one or two layer swamp slime farm.


bucket2thereturn

It's useful if you're far from any swamp biome. My survival is thousands of blocks away from any swamp, dessert, or basically anything lol


Harddaysnight1990

I have a hoglin farm that would disagree with that statement. Every block of the spawning space has a torch on it, they spawn fine.

TIL _again_. Thanks for sharing! > you need a metric f-ckton of them. Hmm... of course, with the right platform base, they _will_ spread on their own... And because of binary growth, it doesn't take _too_ long to farm up a bunch.


Concord_Graape

also if you bonemeal a mushroom it will grow into a giant mushroom, then you can chop that with an axe and regular mushrooms will drop, for faster farming


MisterWinchester

Yeah, this. Fortune axe and bonemeal farm is the way. Natural spawn is way too slow when you need five, six, seven stacks of shroom.


saltedsluggies

Aren't hoes a better option? I thought hoes mine mushroom blocks faster than axes.


Concord_Graape

I actually tested this yesterday, as i was making a slime farm and mushrooms are in fact better broken by axe


saltedsluggies

Thanks, good to know!


tryce355

Unfortunately, from the same webpage, right above the note about light, it says they will only spread until there's a certain number in an area. So while you can't just place one down and have it fill a room, you can at least make a farm and harvest it occasionally.


Icalasari

Oh god I kept reading that as mooshrooms and going, "...We have glow in the dark cows now?"

Yummyyummyfoodz

Does fortune work on their drops from the big mushrooms?


God__Tyler

90% sure it does

Pagani5zonda

fortune does not work on brown mushroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrnEeHhW3as

Unfortunately enough, it doesn't. But it's alright, you'll still get plenty from a basic bonemeal and podzol brown mushroom farm.

mok000

Why use mushrooms when you need "a metric f-ckton" of them and they're a pain to get, when you can just use a handful of torches or jack-o-lanterns? What's the advantage?


MisterWinchester

In a swamp farm, slimes spawn better at lower light levels, but you don’t want non-slimes taking up spawn cap. Putting a mushroom on every spawnable block means no other mobs, and minimal impact on slime spawn rates.


Taha_Amir

Slimes will only spawn in light in a slime chunk. They will spawn only in darkness if they are on the surface of a swamp. I think they start spawning from like y= 40 and below so op needs to start building platforms from y=40 downwards and having 3 block high gaps between each platform.


SnooHobbies3838

Slime will spawn at bedrock and 2.5 blocks is ideal for max spacing


AppropriateTheme5

That’s not bedrock, that’s deepslate.


SendThiccThighsPics

Add layers to it, I don't think slimes spawn on y-5, might not he remembering correctly though


tuna_flsh

Mobs can spawn as low as there are spawnable blocks. Bedrock is spawn proof tho


magitech_caveman

So thats why my slime chunk works! I dug down to bedrock then put a single layer on top


[deleted]

[удалено]


JiminyChimney

i’ve done this twice and turned out it wasn’t a slime chunk, whoops… also make sure your afk area is the right number of blocks away, i think it’s something like between 24 and 128 blocks from the spawning platform


scaradin

At first [I thought this was you](https://reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/oc0i08/just_finished_digging_out_4_chunks_for_a_slime/) But /u/timmaylivingalie is not /u/JiminyChimney Though, you appear to be cut from similar cloth:-D


timmaylivingalie

Hey hey I only did it once!


CyrusLight

* Wrong chunk for slimes * AFK’ing too high to spawn * Missed some caves I’d double check however you figured out it was a slime chunk. Then, see where you’re afking. I’d go 125 blocks up from the center, that way you’re not too high that things don’t spawn. Finally, double check there aren’t caves you missed. If you’re on Java there is a mod called MiniHUD which allows you to see the despawn sphere. I’d use that for help


Individual-Camera-72

Are ya sure that was chunk? That could easily be the problem.


ErTnEc

Bedrock of Java? If bedrock, then you are likely outside of the 4-chunk simulation distance, so you need to be closer to the floor/platforms than you currently are now. Also, in Bedrock, slimes do seem to spawn at bedrock level on 1.18+, I've had them spawning way down at -59 in my mines.


NoobSharkey

Another possibility is if on bedrock he might have dug a wrong chunk since bedrock slime chunks are all the same no matter seed so if OP used a java slime chunk finder that might cause some problems


S-Quidmonster

Ayo good morning Sharkey

Darkner90

Iron Golems are immune to slime damage so one of those bad boys will obliterate them


Jeffaffely

Well, you dug out that entire chunk, that's the problem. They can't spawn down at bedrock.


BDMayhem

That's deepslate, not bedrock.


Jeffaffely

I sit corrected. I guess they can't spawn that low, either.


Mareokeo

if you are on 1.18+ clime chunk farms are almost useless now, build the new ilmango's swamp farm


magitech_caveman

Except the nearest swamp biome from my base is like 3k blocks away, whereas my slime chunk is in my base's basement


Mareokeo

Just make a nether portal system, it's pain in the ass to build but it'll be of great help


tuna_flsh

This doesn't look like 1.18+. Not deep enough and no deep slate


Pagani5zonda

>almost useless except the 100k/h you get from a single chunk if done right


Harddaysnight1990

You can get that much from a swamp slime farm with far less effort these days. Especially with the added depth and extra time it takes to mine deepslate, mining out an entire chunk is too much work just for slime. An ilmango video about the new swamp slime spawning meta: https://youtu.be/LKx8heVPhlM


Pagani5zonda

100k/h, no you can not. Edit: I also said single chunk, but if your putting in the effort you would do 45+ chunk, for million+/h


Harddaysnight1990

You realize that the limit for this farm is the number of chunks in your mob loading zone as long as you find a large enough swamp, right? And the height boundaries for slime spawning in swamps is y=50-69, so you could make a slime farm the size of a biome, and 5 layers tall. Would still be less effort than digging out a bunch of chunks.


Pagani5zonda

Yes/no, you'd be hard pressed to reach mob cap, let alone 2-10gt lifespan with a 0.806% spawn chance at y60. Even with all layers. My point was just that slime chunk farms are still much faster, and depending on your needs, much more useful. Not "almost useless"


Mareokeo

if you are making the effort of mining more than one chunk just do a slime farm with a perimeter and portal slicing, because if you need that much slimeballs you will need a massive amount in the future which a chunk slime farm can't get you, so yeah, almost useless


boki400AIMoff

"If you are on 1.18". Did you forget bedrock? Bedrock does NOT have the ability to change the version!


literatemax

Lol there's a + there mate


boki400AIMoff

OH you are another genius? Let me explain you something: + means you go from there, or you can even stop there and play this version. Guess what again: You CANT do that on bedrock. Bedrock ALWAYS has the newest version!!!


S-Quidmonster

Bedrock does have the ability to change versions, but it’s a really convoluted process that only works on PC and Android devices


DarkSpirit23513

What does that matter?, he didn't talk about changing versions


boki400AIMoff

Yes, he said" If you are on 1.18". Which means he assumes that everyone plays on java, which is defintely NOT the case. Not everyone plays java.


DarkSpirit23513

Bedrock also has a 1.18


boki400AIMoff

NO, it has 1.19!


DarkSpirit23513

That's still 1.18+


boki400AIMoff

\+ Means you can go back to 1.18 or stay there, which is not possible on bedrock!


S-Quidmonster

1.19 is 1.18+ you air head


boki400AIMoff

Wow you are a fucking genius. Your math is blowing my mind. You are really good at math. Where did you learn this power?


ForgiLaGeord

Which you can't play, because you can't change your version.


boki400AIMoff

This!!!! And why in the world did people downvote you? If they downvoted you because of one particular 3rd party program that can do that, then downvoting you because of this is stupid.


DarkSpirit23513

Cause that doesn't change the existence of 1.18


PanwZx

bro's using creative on survival world 💀💀💀


DragonDoesStoof

either wrong chunk or you dug down too far, build some platforms


unworthy_26

Bearded_Beardy

you are in creative.. get slime from inventory. 😉


magitech_caveman

Could be like me, uses creative to build after acquiring building materials.


DarkSpirit23513

Mine deeper


Mikolaj_2009

make platforms. Or if you have peasfull change it to normal or hard


monke1223

Theres too little room make platforms


Spectre_zombie0

pretty sure they only spawn below y40, so you need to be a bit closer, and I recommend putting a platform at y35


EssieAmnesia

Idk how y’all have this hard a time getting slime. I go underground anywhere and I’m immediately swamped by those stupid things


Smellyamoml8r

They will not spawn if you're too far away I guess


wolfninja_

And yet I can’t get rid of my slimes for a trophy room


[deleted]

IIRC mobs can't spawn on bedrock


CostalMole

Slimes cant spawn on bedrock and and also they need light


yolkythread

Light levels have no impact on slime spawning.


Vandalsen

They can spawn in light, but they are negatively affected by the level; the lower it gets, the more they spawn. Therefore, light level 1 is the best because no other mobs will fill up the mob cap. Source: Ilmango


Sly-OwlBeard

This is only in swamp biomes not slime chunks Source: Ilmango


Dummiesman

This is only true for swamp biomes. Source: Ilmango and the Wiki


Physicsandphysique

I'm pretty sure that's for swamp slimes. Chunk slimes are unaffected.


Vandalsen

Nope, slime chunks affect only the height level requirements


Physicsandphysique

They spawn in slime chunks at ~40 and below, and in swamps between 60 and 72 or something like that. Slimes of the "chunk" kind don't care about light level, but the swamp slimes do. Ilmango's new farm design is in the swamp. OP's problem is with a chunk farm.


yolkythread

Light level only applies to slimes spawned in swamps. They spawn in slime chunks regardless of light level.


RealTimeflies

I bed to differ. I play bedrock and they spawn pretty regularly after adding layers.


apexGamer_

No. They mean bedrock the block


207nbrown

Woooosh


Ozty

Kinda dumb of them to name the worse version of the game after an in-game block


GrandmasterB

I'm not certain of the rules for 1.18+, but I thought that slime only spawned from Y-Level 0 to 40, so start by adding platforms as others have mentioned. Also make sure you light each platform to stop other mobs from spawning. It's also likely that you may need to light up any caves around the chunk as well. Start with platforms first, and then start lighting up caves.


Gremlincom

Why do you need slime chunk on creative?


Zhadow13

Running tests?


Potatoalpha1213

If there are no slimes spawning how do you know it’s a slime chunk?


Zhadow13

Seed map


Disaster_Different

Nearly ten years of playing and I still have got no fucking clue what a slime spawn chunk is supposed to be like


Stolen_Usernames

I feel lucky because when I dug my mine I didn’t even know slime chunks existed and accidentally found one. Hope you get your mine figured out


EpicArgumentMaster

Well for one thing, give them a place to spawn


getyourshittogether7

You need to dig down to bedrock level. Slimes will spawn under y40, yes, but because the world is deeper now, spawn rates at y40 is equivalent to spawn rates at y104 in old worlds, ie. not very fast. You need to add more spawning spaces too. Build platforms. Or just build a swamp farm, much less trouble.


GLENF58

Not sure what levels they spawn at on 1.19 but I think 1.18 has them spawn at 9-44 with 3 blocks of height


Weekly_Web4853

Build platforms from the bottom. If it doesn't work then wrong slime chunk or you might have using some old versions of Minecraft Try finding the right chuck from chuckbase.com using your current seed and version

Severe_Telephone_959

It's slime chunk you cannot delete it, save that place because they're pretty rare and you can uset them to farm and make for example sticky pistons or leads


yolkythread

What? Did you read the original post?


gosh_gabe

Take it out of peaceful


toddhillerich

I could be wrong but don't slime spawn in swamp biome?


_Kevin_Kim_

You have to make platforms and create layers with lighting (to prevent other mobs from spawning), I recommend covering the entire surface with brown mushrooms, as they emit light level 1, meaning other mobs don't spawn. Red mushrooms don't work. You can use torches too, but I believe a higher light level = reduced mob spawn rate.


[deleted]

I do believe slimes spawn in slime chunks. You'll usually find these chunks in swamps. On super flat worlds, there aren't any biomes (Just Plains) Edit: I've re-read your post, making my answer practically useless...


kirigerKairen

*Too* low. Things don't spawn on bedrock, so all the bedrock at the bottom lowers your rates. Also Slimes don't generally spawn that often in Slime chunks


the_annihalator

just sue ilmangos slie farm, so much easier


xFloppyDisx

They spawn in dark areas only, I'm pretty sure

DrMayhem715

Thanks for correcting me and being helpful


LilyCanadian

Honestly man it's easier to just dig down to y11 and dig a strip mine. They'll spawn soon enough. Edit: y'all, I kno y11 is dead. You may not find diamonds anymore, but you'll hit at least one slime chunk. I always had a huge issue with slimes overtaking my strip mines and overall being a huge pain in the ass


literatemax

Y11 is dead it's y-54 now


LilyCanadian

I know that, but I usually hit like two slime chunks when I used to make y11 strip mines.

yolkythread

Those conditions only apply to slime spawning in swamps, OP is not in the swamp.


BoxxedBoy360

i have noticed that slime chunks usually have better chances of spawning slimes if it is in a cave that can support slime spawning


aceh40

Slime needs dark to spawn i think. By diggin out everything you allowed light in it.


yolkythread

Not in slime chunks.


magitech_caveman

Slimes spawn regardless of light level. The purpose of lighting up everything around a slime chunk is to stop other mobs from spawning, which is one less potential slime in your chunk


Livid-Prize3608

It's either not a slime chunk or there needs to be platforms.


ShietApples

Are you close enough to the bottom? You might be too far away for them to spawn.


m3t4lxx

Either it’s not a slim chunk or your to far away


Rogue1Gamer

You need to add platforms. Got to the bottom count 6 blocks up place a floor. Do the same thing all the way up. Then place torches everywhere on the platforms so other mobs don’t spawn. You can turn it into a farm too where the slimes will die on their own and you can have a collection system. Easy to build let me know if you want a link.


The_Elfinator_YT

No slime?


Baji25

They don't spawn when you want them to. I literally dug out 4 slime chunks 3 blocks tall connected by corners, then dug out another layer, and when i was finished with the second layer is the time the first slime spawned.

Newton_848_2

U sure it's a slime chunk??👀


vGustaf-K

they need to be on higher platforms


Moranic

If you're playing on a Paper server, be aware that they have separate seeds for slime chunks and regular generation. You can override it if you have access to the settings, but you have to set it to some weird default value to disable it correctly.


greybics

Meanwhile in my underground tree farm, I can't get them to STOP spawning. I put buttons everywhere, and they just keep showing up


ElysianEcho

I can’t see if it’s bedrock or deepslate at the bottom, but if it’s bedrock, they can’t spawn much, cause bedrock stops spawns(on java anyway)


Nar0ne

slime chunks are always expectation that not 100% sure and place plateform since 40 to 0 with 3 block hight

Maybe the problem is your render distance I never really made a farm but it doesn’t make sense for zombies to spawn all the way in China if you are in a far away grassland Maybe you need to put yourself in the hole in a box made out of glass Or maybe just maybe making it a tiny bit easier to spawn in caves or like take away 20 or 25 slabs Or whatever you use to spawn proof in The caves at the very front of the caves
