Slimeball
minecraft:slime_ballSlimeballs are sticky crafting ingredients dropped mainly by small slimes, and also obtained from sneezing baby pandas, wandering trader trades, or by breaking down slime blocks. They are used to craft magma cream, sticky pistons, and slime blocks, and to breed frogs.
FAQ
What's the best way to farm slimeballs?
Build a slime farm in a swamp biome at night or in an underground slime chunk; a Looting III weapon significantly increases the average drops per small slime.
Can I get slimeballs without fighting slimes?
Yes, trade emeralds with a wandering trader or wait for a baby panda to sneeze one out, though the panda method is very unreliable at roughly a 1-in-700 chance.
What is the most important slimeball recipe?
Sticky pistons are essential for many redstone contraptions, while slime blocks are equally valuable for building and bounce mechanics.
Are slimeballs renewable?
Yes, fully renewable through slime farming, wandering trader trades, or panda sneezes.
