Setup Instructions

Chunk Setup

  • Use F3 + G to see chunk borders.
  • Build farm on 4 chunks.
  • Mark chunk corners with blocks.

Building the Farm

  1. Height Construction:

    • Go 5 blocks above water.
    • Use any full blocks (e.g., dirt or grass) for construction.
    • Connect the grass along the sides.
  2. Chunk Gap:

    • Stand on the grass and leave a 4-block gap within chunk borders.
    • Repeat on all four sides.
    • Connect grass or dirt in the middle.
  3. Spawning Platforms:

    • Create spawning platforms inside big squares.
    • Build a 2-tall wall around platforms.
    • Use slabs or glass blocks on top of walls to prevent mob spawning.
    • Avoid light sources to keep light levels low in swamp biome.
  4. Water Flow System:

    • Create a water flow system to direct slimes to the killing area.
    • Build side walls to guide slimes.
    • Use buckets of water to push slimes toward magma blocks.
  5. Magma Blocks:

    • Place magma blocks to expedite slime killing.
    • Helps in breaking larger slimes into smaller ones.
  6. Collection System:

    • Use fences to direct items to collection area.
    • Place chests and hoppers to collect slime balls.
    • Ensure hoppers connect to chests by crouching.
  7. AFK Spot Construction:

    • Build an AFK spot 127 blocks above the farm.
    • Use scaffolding or building blocks with ladders to reach AFK spot.
    • Center the AFK spot exactly above the farm.
    • Build a safe room with a roof and lighting.

Expected Outcome

  • Approximately 1.5 stacks of slime balls per night.
  • Additional mob drops possible due to lack of light.

Conclusion

  • Effective for collecting slime balls in early game.
