Slimes are rare mobs featured in Minecraft. Any entity in Minecraft is referred to as mob. There are 3 different sizes of slimes: Big, small, or tiny. If a player kills a slime, it will split into two smaller slimes. This could depend on the size. For instance, a slime won’t split if it’s already the smallest size.
Slimes are mostly found in swamps beneath layer 40, or only in particular deep chunks called slime chunks. No matter the size or location, slimes are only hostile. The tiny slimes don’t do any damage at all but are still hostile towards the player. They can also be kept as pets by the player, as they won’t require any taming and will follow the player.
Why Slimes Are Not Spawning in Slime Chunk in Minecraft?
Certain players are facing this issue in Minecraft where slimes are not spawning in slime chunk. There could be many reasons why slimes aren’t spawning. Though in many cases, this is not a bug, rather the fault of the player. Most players don’t understand the spawn mechanic of slimes in Minecraft. Here are some reasons why they won’t spawn:
- Max Mob Limit in the Surrounding Area
In Minecraft, there is a certain limit to how many mobs can spawn in an area. Make sure there are no caves with zombies or any other mobs in the vicinity.
- Slime Spawn Mechanic
Quite a few players don’t know about the spawning mechanic of slimes. Slimes don’t spawn when a player is under 24 blocks. Slimes will also instantly despawn if a player is not under 128 blocks.
- Spawn Area
Slimes only spawn below layer 40. Make sure you are in the right location. Slimes are also pretty rare to spawn compared to other mobs. As a result, slimes might take some time to spawn.
I’m confused about number 2…. Can anyone give me some help???
It means slimes won’t spawn if you are below Y-level 24, and will despawn if you go above Y-level 128.
I think slimes will still spawn below Y-Level 24 – Again, you just have to be above Y-Level 24 for it to happen.
You can see your Y-level by looking at your coordinates in the F3 menu.
That is incorrect. It has nothing to do with the Y level.
Mobs (including slime) don’t spawn within a 24 block spherical radius around the player, and despawn if you are further away than 128 blocks (also spherical radius). Additionally, they will despawn after a random amount of time if you are further away than 32 blocks unless you nametag them or put them into a transport (minecart/boat).
These mechanics are the same for any hostile mob that spawns around the world randomly.
That’s not what that means. It means you have to be a minimum of 24 blocks away for slimes to spawn and under 128 blocks away.
Does 24 blocks vertically enable them to spawn?
