Having trouble finding slime or just tired of waiting for them to spawn on Minecraft 360? This article will tell you step by step on how to make a slime spawning farm. Get started at step number one below.
Steps
-
1Get supplies. You will need pickaxes. It will go faster if you use stone, iron, gold, or diamond pickaxes. Also ladders so you can get back up! You will need about 15 pickaxes, 50 torches, and 40 ladders.
-
2Dig straight down, placing ladders on your way down. Watch for lava because it may be right underneath you!
-
3Wait until you hit bedrock, go up 3 blocks.
-
4Dig into the wall. The room you're about to create should be a 16x16 room, completely empty except for torches here and there. It should be 3 blocks high.
-
5Check the room you made. It should be at least 3 blocks high and at least 16x16 (I recommend 16x16) and empty except for torches.
-
6Go to a wall, any wall. Go to the second block up from the floor and break that block. Then go two blocks over and break that block. You must go horizontally around the whole room, leaving two blocks in between every hole in the wall.
- The wall will look like this after you're done: BBEBBEBBEBBEBBE (B= block still there, E=Empty)
-
7Place torches in the holes in the walls.
-
8Ensure the room is 16x16, 3 high, and have that wall pattern. It should be empty except for torches.
-
9Go to the roof. You will need to do what you did on the wall and break every other block, then place torches in them.
-
10Dig straight up about 3 blocks, you will need a duplicate of the room you just made, but 2-3 blocks above it. Repeat steps 1-10 in the room above the bottom room.
-
11Check you have two rooms that are identical, 16x16 rooms, 3 high, with the patterns on the walls and roof, with torches inside each hole in the wall/roof.
-
12Go back to the bottom room. You need to make this room 16 blocks wide and expand out to 26 blocks long.
-
13Ensure you have two rooms, a top one 16x16 and a bottom one 16x26. The top should have the patterns on the walls/roof, the bottom one's patterns can be expanded out to the 26th block, but isn't a need as torches just keep other mobs from spawning.
-
14Expand the top room to a 16x26 room as well, and you can expand the wall/roof pattern as well, though it is not needed.
-
15Check you have 2 rooms, 3 high, 16x26, and the patterns may/may not go all around the rooms. They should be pretty identical.
-
16Go to the bottom room. You need to dig a 3 block deep pit. If you hit bedrock, just go around it. You need to make it go along the back wall, so it should be 16 blocks long and 4 blocks wide.
-
17Get buckets full of water. It is recommended you have 4 buckets if possible, then dig a 4 block hole in the ground and put the water in so you can keep refilling them and not have to run back up.
-
18Fill the pit with water. It may be hard to even out if there is uneven bedrock, but just keep experimenting with it and it should even out soon.
-
19Go to the top floor and break the blocks that are above the water pit below. This will create your water trap, because slimes cannot swim.
-
20Put a one block walkway on both sides of the water pit, both on the top and bottom rooms.
-
21Put a ladder on one of the walkways in the bottom room to the top room.
-
22Be sure sure you have two rooms. 16x26, 3 high. The bottom floor should have a water pit and walkways on both sides, with one having a ladder leading up to the top.
-
23Wait for slimes to spawn now. It could take as little as minutes or as long as hours.
-
24If one spawns, bring it towards the water pit and lead it into it. As slimes cannot swim, this will kill it.
-
25Be aware they should keep spawning after that! Remember that it may take a while!
Community Q&A

QuestionWhat if I fall through the bedrock?
Community AnswerIf you are playing in survival mode, it will not be possible to break bedrock. However, if you somehow did (either using a mod or in creative mode), you will instantly die. -
QuestionOn a PS4, could I have mods in Minecraft?
Belle K.Top AnswererNo. You cannot have mods on any other version of Minecraft except for the PC version. -
QuestionWhy do I need a top room?
Community AnswerThis will cause the slimes to spawn faster due to lighting. The light from the top floor will encourage slimes to spawn on the bottom, and the lighting from the bottom will encourage slimes to spawn on the top. -
QuestionCan I do it in Minecraft bedrock edition ?
Gianina LCommunity AnswerYes, you can do this in any version. However, slimes are usually found easily in Swamps. -
