How To Find & Farm A Slime Chunk! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide (1.18 Tutorial Lets Play) [S2E82]

- The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 2 continues. Let's get squishy!
This tutorial will show you how to locate a slime chunk without external tools and set up a slime farm. We moss mine the chunk for the farm, and build a portal-based design that transports the slimes into the Nether, removing them from the mob cap (and, incidentally, spawning a good handful of zombie piglins in the process.)
But how effective can we make it when there are so many dark caves in the nearby area? We discuss how effective a slime farm can be when you're more selective about a location, and why I chose to set it up in a less efficient area.
We also showcase a hands-free method of mining obsidian from the pillars in the End.
If you'd prefer to look up the locations of slime chunks in your world, here are some useful tools:

I love how you jumped around while explaining how the slimes would move in the farm, also it was funny when the beacon made you insta-mine the stone you were facing as you waved goodbye at the end!
Man said 🐰🐇
I don't know why but I love the small hops you did when you pretended to be a slime (at around 15min) such a small detail, but so adorable ahah!
Pix jumping to move when he's pretending to be a slime for an explanation is the cutest thing
When he did that, I immediately came to the comments section to say the same thing haha
im glad the whole comments section is just people going "pix that was so cute"
I'm glad you are sharing your opinion of that, how would humanity ever survive if you were to go about your day instead.
Important note on the "further down = faster" factoid: That applies to the highest non-air block. If you leave any kind of natural terrain or roof above the farm, it won't matter at which height you build the farm itself below that roof. Torches and other blocks without a collision box (that are neither rails not redstone components) do not block slime spawns. What does, though, is solid blocks in the walls - the whole pack spawning mechanic stops when hitting a solid block.
For obsidian mining: I found that you can even stand on and mine three blocks in an L-shape. It's a bit more finicky to position yourself and aim, but it's 50% more time until you need to pay attention to the game again. :)
Awesome video!!! Also I have a theory that the Slime mob was created by the witch, cause they spawn in swamps and caves, who else does? Witches, and the Slime would only go after the player and Iron Golem, and will not attack any other mob, as they are the Slime's enemies, but they are also the only two in the game that also enemies to the Witch, and when a Skeletons Shoots a Crepper with a bow and arrow, the Creeper will attack the Skeleton, but if it Shoots a Slime instead, the Slime will not attack the Skeleton and focus on the player, as it is their job to protect the Witch from either Iron Golems or you
You got an iron ingot from the first zombie you killed then a carrot from another. You then got a God apple from a zombie spawner chest. Your luck is incredible
I thought he got the enchanted golden Apple in a mineshaft
So glad to see you sharing the fence technique. I even commented it in your beacon mining episode. While most people use external tools I'm a purist of manual finding your slime chunks, and fencing chunks at your beacon strip mine makes it really easy.. there's no real need for external tools in vanilla survival.
Edit: [28:58] Zombified piglin spawning on nether portals don't count towards the mob cap (which makes them very versatile overworld gold/xp farms).
Didn't know that about the zombie piglins! Very useful information, thank you :)
M3ultiplayer trap idea. Have a chest at the end of a hallway and when you open it, a couple giant slimes you caught earlier fall from the ceiling and become this wall slowly sliding towards you. This idea was taken from the Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition enemy handbook detailing dungeon slime walls that devour everything in their path and take up the whole hallway.
Gday. Gotta love the Minecraft Moss Meditation!!!!! "Mossing around" is my self care!
Hey kids, if you want to find a slime chunk in your own worlds, bring a couple stacks of fence gates down to the mines, and mine a 3x3 tunnel along a chunk border, leaving fence gates at every chunk border you cross. That's every 16 blocks. Once you run out of fence gates, turn around and see if any slimes have spawned. Go through the tunnel a couple times to make sure they have a chance to spawn at both ends.
Really interesting design pix. I might have to try something like this and I'm also thinking I could maybe try to use turtle eggs to move the bonus zombie piglins spawning from the portals. Always a wealth of ideas. Thank you!
I’ve heard that in Bedrock, in every single seed, there is one section that will always have slime chunks in the same spot.
Also, Bedrock obsidian mining is faster, since it breaks in six seconds with an unenchanted diamond pickaxe versus nine seconds on Java.
Sort of… in Bedrock, there are MANY permanent slime chunks determined by the seed, and there are a lot of them.
However there is an element of randomness to it. Not every “slime chunk” is guaranteed to spawn slimes, so if using a utility like chunkbase you’ll come to find many disappointing slime chunks on the world map.
If you can't afford a second account / don't want the hassle of it (especially with Microsoft being involved now) / don't think it's the kind of thing you should have to be paying for to begin with just so you can use an external camera, there's a mod called Freecam that allows a lot of the same functionality. A lot of the Hermits use it these days. About the only limitations it has compared to a "camera account" is that it has to be in the same area your player has loaded, so it cannot for example just go to another dimension, or into unloaded chunks outside your render distance. Works fine for observing things out of view or looking for dark caves, etc. As it's a client-side mod, be sure any MP servers are fine with it before using it with those though, or you could get banned for cheating.
That obsidian mining trick is brilliant! Had no clue F3+T did anything, let alone that!
Actually with a one-chunk slime farm, with portals on all sides, do you even need the torches? I'd assume the portals put off enough light level on their own, that with portals on all sides you should be covered, which might make it look a lot cleaner than most slime farms.
Perfect timing. I've been trying to figure out how this whole slime chunk thing works and other videos were ok but as usual yours gave me everything I need to get it done and more.
I love Pix's little slime hops during that explanation ahaha
Holy crap I didn't know Mr Tumble played minecraft
Well I just completed my slime chunk project yesterday, your video is a bit late haha! Took me a while to mine it all!
Always a good feeling to see your video in the first list
I'm going to be watching this video closely because I have discovered, right around where I set up my base in the Vault Hunters world, two lines of 3 slime chunks touching at a corner. I've already done most of the work in setting up the sextuple-chunk slime farm, I just need to finish digging up to the surface (without disturbing the farms and buildings above), and set up automatic collection. (For anyone using Xaero's Minimap in a modded world, finding slime chunks is as easy as setting and pressing a hotkey.)
EDIT: I wonder if the big slimes require 4 blocks of space to spawn properly, even though they are 2 blocks tall. I don't have any explainable rationale behind this; all I have is this gut feeling, or sort of built-in logic, that the size of the slime equals the amount of space one needs to spawn it.
Edit to the edit: I wrote this a mere ten seconds of video time before a big slime was clearly seen spawning in the farm. Welp.
Big slimes only need a 3x3x3 space to spawn! Also congrats/good luck on the farm lol
I think I’ll always be salty about the glare, sure you can use F3 in Java to check light levels but a glare would be so helpful for lighting up 1.18 caves. And I was never sold on the allay “oh look how cute it is holding cookies”, nah, the glare was cute too and at least as useful. Gimme the glare!
Finally a person of culture #JusticeForGlare
Yep, and it would help so much with bedrock edition.
I was on camp Copper Golem, so I feel your pain. Regarding the glare, they would do the same thing as bats. Bats are an indicator that your light levels are consistent with mob spawning. In any case, Glares would be useless now since mobs only spawn at light level > 0
I mean...its not that hard to pyhsically tell how light something is. If a mob spawns then you know it needs light
@@typervader And if you want something to be picked up, you can just walk toward it and pick it up.
A layover of spawnable spaces would honestly be a great addition to be game for me. I don't like using F3 since it's cluttered and ugly, but I do like making sure farms are dark enough and houses are light enough.
I would much rather use an in-game feature for it. Doesn't need to be a friendly mob for me. A special more expensive torch/lantern that shows you spawnable spaces in an immersive way would be perfect.
After illmango's video about slmies, he was able to say that brown mushrooms produce a light level of one which means if you cover a floor for slime chunks only slimes will spawn since other mobs need a light level of 0 due to 1.18.
Love your videos!! I never knew how to build slime farms and now I know because of you!!!
29:00
As far as i know, Zombie piglins that spawn inside of the nether portals are independent from the mob cap much like a spawner.
Indeed. According to the wiki, those don't count.
@@dkSilo cool. Glad i was right.
@@mrkaro7468 Just seen the following ep and Pixl is mentioning that fact there. :)
@@dkSilo yeah i saw it. Im glad that he read the comments
Love the content, keep it coming 😌
Does anyone know if chunkbase can work for version 1.18.2? Because on the website it only says updated till 1.12. Thank you!
GR8 slime farm, will be giving this farm built a go soon. Thanks Pix, keep up the gr8 video's.
Thanks a lot for this guide from the beginning ☺️. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you so much ❤️
I remember when i made my slime farm years ago on a server. although mine used a drowning chamber and no portals or iron golems. it was just platforms and currents. The slimes would fall on their own so its wasnt a huge necessity to use a golem.
Anyone else find the moss mining time lapse satisfying
I love your videos so much nice job pixlriffs!
Man I just wish you'd hit a million subscribers, you were, you are, and will always be a legend
fun fact: In bedrock edition, the pattern of slime chunks is the same no matter the seed
If this has been covered, I apologize. I'm curious what the point of converting to moss just to remove is. Wouldn't it just be quicker to use an efficiency pickaxe to remove the stone?
I'm assuming there is a reason. Thanks!
I wonder if you could leverage some auto-collected fuel to smelt down the gold swords into nuggets, collect those as well! Not for any practical gold farm, just to see if it's possible.
Possible? Sure. Not certain it's worth the effort though.
@@Pixlriffs Bit much for a single-player world like you said; but they can be made as a flex project with POG production rates. I have an old 3x in my Spawn, and my already somewhat large collection/storage system is full, so I have more than enough Slime to last me a life-time in my world.
Pretty sure Sea Lanterns aren't valid for slime spawning. Jack 'o lanterns do work though.
Fun fact: you can also build a slime farm in swamps too
Swamp based slime farms are a tricky proposition. Slimes in swamps have to spawn in complete darkness, which 'cave slimes' don't - so a slime farm in a swamp is basically a general mob farm with extra slime. Slimes also don't spawn on a full moon, and only reach their maximum spawn rate on a full moon, so the farm won't produce any slime on 1/8 nights.
bassicaly mumbo jumbo has a epesode on it, where he makes a massive farm
@@Pixlriffs swamp slimes spawn in light level 7 and below (1.18+)
the modern swamp slime farms can be better than chunk slime farms
The tip given at 19:00 should have been said again. That is an amazing tip for afk farming anything in mincefrat.
Awesome video... thank you!
Digging a slime chunk down to bedrock doesn't actually improve the spawn rates unless you remove everything above. Correct me if I'm wrong
Mostly framing that as an example for people who wanted to build these in their own worlds, and wouldn’t have a problem digging out the ceiling.
But also, it’s worth digging it out to Bedrock just so the player can AFK there. It’s easier to get better spawn rates for the farm when the lower half of the 128-block spawning radius around the player is below bedrock. Nothing spawns in the void, so you only have to worry about spawn-proofing the spaces above you.
Wow I was thinking about making slime farm, and you made a video!!
i have this problem for years
slime chunk not spawning slimes i even digged down whole chunk
The dripstone cave is back
ty
Could you place a hopper cart and rail system under the portal in the nether to collect the items. I'm the type of player that likes to collect everything he can from a farm. Just curious and love your helpful videos
You could, but every time the Nether chunks load and unload there's a chance the minecart would stop moving part-way along the rail. I tend not to build minecart systems unless they have easily accessible on/off switches to pause the minecart when the farm isn't in use.
One thing I’m excited for in 1.19 is spectator mode in bedrock. Loooooooong overdue!!!
You took a screenshot at around 2:30, now how do I take it and where will it be stored
F2 takes a screenshot. Pressing T to open chat and clicking on the link will open the picture in your desktop photo viewer. Screenshots are stored in the 'screenshots' subfolder of your '.minecraft' folder.
Thanks
Just a heads up Pix, amidst does not support 1.18 worlds. I have seen no movement over on their github page either.
i love using amidst but it’s not updated yet for 1.18
Wouldnt it be even cheaper just to make 4 very tall portals? Or would the slimes not path-find over the portal space?
It'd be cheaper, but the max portal height is 21 blocks and I wasn't sure how large I wanted to build the farm :)
@@Pixlriffs Wow, i didnt actually expect a response, Thank you! I always learn little tidbits from you. I just finished making it. With your obsidian trick i wasnt worried about it. Thanks man!
Would have preferred if the "find a slime chunk" portion was a little more methodic and not just dig a big hole and run around until you see some spawn but otherwise great video, everything else was great
I planned a more thorough explanation, but the slimes spawning right in front of me kinda carried the momentum of the episode fowards naturally.
Honestly, though, there isn't really a way to find a slime chunk naturally beyond "find some spawning and make an educated guess about their point of origin." The game offers no other ways to locate them, which is why the community typically relies on tools for this. The point was more to establish that it's possible to find a slime chunk without using Amidst or Chunkbase.
@@Pixlriffsomg you replied. I've been watching other slime farm videos and perhaps it was a wattles video but he gave me the solution I'll be attempting. He dug a long 3x3 tunnel and separated each chunk with fences until he found a slime chunk. It wasn't in 1.18, though I don't think it should change anything
Edit: it was a wattles vid after all, here it is if you're curious ua-cam.com/video/n-A5J9M70cs/v-deo.html
Getting 2 slime chunks near each other is super lucky lol
0:13 To STICK around here
woo!
Do slimes spawn on mushroon biomes though? Ofcourse under y 40, but I thought no hostile mobs spawned there.
Hey pix when do u plan of making a zombie piglin gold farm
If im on a solo player world, will mobs that teleport to the nether just despawn? or will they die/drop items while im in the overworld
This is built in a single player world and the mobs don't despawn when they teleport to the Nether.
On multiplayer servers, having another player in the Nether can cause issues for the farm, since the game will detect if that player is over 128 blocks from the mobs, and *then* they'll despawn.
But in single player, since there is no player in the Nether dimension, mob spawning & despawning rules don't apply the way they normally would :)
You found another Notch Apple again lol, and this time, while recording!!
Wow ive just spent the last 3 hours clearing out an area,perfect timing
press awesome in the video then the bar of something will happen
"Do a HOE lot of digging" LOL
Yesterday i find a dungeon in a mineshaft next to a stronghold how rare is it?
Me:Watch Pixlriffs Farm Video's
my brain:Build The farm
Me:Who cannot even Start a Single farm or a Build that pix do
Does it work in 1.19 ?
Question. Your shield seems lower in your UI. Do you use a mod for that or a setting I'm missing?
That's a resource pack from Vanillatweaks.net - it's just called 'Lower Shield'. :)
@@Pixlriffs Thanks man. I was actually just hoping that it was a setting I was missing, but was doubtful. I have looked and looked through seemingly countless menus and didn't find anything related. As always, thanks for the great content! I appreciate your style of play.
could you make just four large nether portals?
You could, but the maximum height of a portal is 23 blocks. I decided to build smaller portals because I expected the farm to be larger.
It depends on the size of the farm. Nether portal interiors have a maximum area of 21x21 blocks, so if the height of the farm is 22 blocks or higher, you're going to need more portals.
What's the mod you use to get the coords and time on your hud?
Coordinates HUD datapack from vanillatweaks.net
I thought the open sky / y level didnt matter anymore in 1.18.2?
Nope, definitely still matters. Look at the enderman farm if you want evidence for that
@@Pixlriffs do both still matter? or only open sky? thanks :)
Y-level matters exactly as much as before. They decided not to implement the altered spawning ruleset in the actual update.
Hey Pix why do you delete community tab posts? just curious
So that people don't see an old post and get confused probably
Because people tend not to read the date I made the post, so anything that says 'hey I'm live on Twitch now' or 'there isn't an episode today' can be misleading
@@Pixlriffs i see. thanks for replying! I've watched the entire video now and i have a few other questions about the video itself, like would turning down render distance help in the spawn rates? and does it really need to be soul campfires? i think ive seen a couple other farm designs that use magma blocks... either way really great video as always! :) i have watched every episode so far lol
My slimes are entering the portal and despawning 😢😢😢
How did you get the coordinates on the hotbar is it a datapack?
'Coordinates HUD', from Vanillatweaks.net. I installed it back when we mined out a full mountain chunk, and decided to keep it as an alternative to filling the screen up with F3 debug info
@@Pixlriffs will you be doing a video about datapacks and resourcepacks in the future like the one in season 1?
Helpful addition: don't forget to go into chat and use the /toggle command to activate the HUD after you install the data pack (it's called toggle ch or something like that).
I was pretty surprised that nothing happened after I activated the data pack the first time.
@@paulelderson934 thank you.I installed it and it didn't work so i deleted it.i didn't know that you have to run a command.Thank you for this
I still don't understand why people have to copy other peoples comments, as if they thought of it first.
Great video once again bubba!
Here's a question for ya, and you might know since it is for Bedrock edition, but when I am playing minecraft on Xbox, how can I see the slime chunk borders? There isnt a debug mode on xbox.
Once you've found an area with slime, you could always confirm your slime chunk coordinates on Chunkbase (which will give you a good idea of the coords for the chunk borders).
Alternatively, do some maths! Chunks begin around the 0,0 coordinate at the centre of the world. So if your coordinates are divisible by 16, you're standing at the corner of a chunk. From that point, you can trace the boundaries of your chunk by drawing a 16x16 box facing away from spawn.
Yo
Petition to get Minecraft youtubers to put a J or B after the update number to represent java and bedrock so people can instantly know what version it's on
So (J 1.18 let's play) or (B 1.18 let's play)

Because I don't like PVP, and I spend all my time making Survival Guide videos.
Amidst doesn’t work for 1.18.2 sadly
Does it work for 1.18 though? Because nothing has really changed about terrain generation and slime chunk positions between 1.18 and the .2 release

Hii
I suggest that you could complete the balance diet advancement with the notch apple when you do the how did we get here advancement, so you don't have to struggle to find an extra notch apple, and it completes 2 advancements in 1 go
Why would he need a notch apple for the how did we get here advancement?
@@ManosSef for the advancement, you need to have all effects attainable in survival to be active at once, and the notch apple helps with the process
@@cleverabovetheline yeah I know all of that, but which effect does a notch apple give you that nothing else does?
@@ManosSef I know that the notch apple can give the health boost effect which gives you extra hearts to use. The only other way getting this effect are god apples and totem of undying, and to be clear, I call enchanted golden apples as notch apples and regular golden apples as god apples
@@cleverabovetheline the effect you're talking about is called absorption. Now, since a golden apple is much much easier to get, why would he use a notch apple to get absorption?
The hitbox of torches do not prevent slimes from spawning, so there isn't a need to change them out. If you still decide to do so, Jack-o-lanterns are the only light source (so far as I'm aware) that mobs can also spawn on. Even though shroomlights are considered a solid block, mobs don' t still don't spawn on them, and other light sources are transparent, also preventing mob spawns.
You pretending to be a slime at 15:07 was adorable
I think you can extend the portal to the corners of the hole to increase the spawn rate a little more, because slime needs a 3x3 space to spawn. This allows slime to spawn on the edge of the chunk.
Also don't forget to spawn proof the nearby slime chunk!
I really love these vids keep it up
Keep in mind ALL slime chunks are the same on Bedrock, they don't change by seed
Is slime spawning is different in bedrock? I found a big lush cave on my world, and I often go over there to mine. When the whole cave was lit up, lots of slime were spawning which was becoming very annoying, and for me getting slime ball wasn't that uncommon. Now I got like 47 block of slime and 5 slime balls. Also under the lush cave there is another big ravine type deepslate cave which lots of slime was spawning.
PLS PLS build the wither obsidian farm shown in ianxofour's video 😂 and don't waste another hour of your life farming obsidian
cant you just do the killing mechanism in the overworld?
🌸 How do you do your time lapses? 💖
In this video, it was simply the 'camera account' filming from a static position. In other videos, I've sometimes used replay mod to create camera moves and have more dynamic shots.
How many stacks of obsidian did it take, I wanna build it
Each layer took just under 2 stacks, and there are 8 layers, so about 15-16 stacks. Only took about half an hour to get all of it
my favorite part is you commentating like its a sporting event lol
Will the slime farm work on bedrock
Would this work without using the nether?
It's interesting, I don't really care about slime all that much, but I like your videos so I gave it a watch and now I learned a few things. Thank you.
are you going to make an EOL farm?
I hopped in on twitch to catch the stream and was slightly confused since chat was talking about the efficiency of the rotten flesh farm lol. Love the video.
I love the music @ 8:11!!!
Goodmorning!
It's 6am here in OOTAH and I have a long day ahead.. Always nice to see these in the mornings!
