IMPORTANT: When you are looking for a build site, make sure that your feet are no higher than Y 69 when standing on the future spawning platform. Slimes will not spawn at Y 70 or above. Note that the swamp hills biome does not spawn slimes.
* Java 1.18+: The looting portal elevator remains very useful in 1.18+. Swamp-based slime farms can be vastly more powerful in 1.18+, but this video is not a good reference for leveraging those mechanics. The build tutorial works in 1.18+, but is mostly applicable to 1.16 and 1.17. For 1.18+, you can skip the cats, wolves, turtle eggs, snow trenches, and the trapdoors around the golem. Within the circle of dirt/grass in the spawning area, replace any blocks that have light level 0 with podzol and place brown mushrooms on top:

Brown mushrooms can be farmed using this: • Minecraft Elegance: Ve...
Or use glow lichen in this pattern: imgur.com/2TBIvEw
Building a roof to darken the spawn area will allow slimes to spawn during the day. This video is a good reference for these changes:

MULTIPLAYER INSTRUCTIONS:
This slime elevator will work without issue in a single player world, or if you are the only player on a server. If there are other players on the server, it will work properly if nobody is in the nether, or you can have a friend or alt account stay near the nether elevator to prevent the slimes from despawning. Refer to 13:50.

Comments and tips:
1:36 There isn't enough room for spiders to leave the portal, so they never have a chance to cool down, and they can't re-enter the portal.
2:38 Zombified villagers and baby zombified piglins also appear.
2:49 Shoutout to Techman88 for his farm design that inspired how this farm uses trapdoors to shield the iron golem's eyes.
3:26 The baby zombie can see the iron golem under the trapdoors, but is unable to pathfind to it because of the snow.
5:00 Zombie piglins will show up at the AFK portal, but they do not come from the spawning area. They show up due to their natural spawning that occurs in all overworld portals. These zombie piglins are harmless and will die when you kill them in the chamber.
12:00 Use an autoclicker or macro to attack about every second if you want to actually "AFK" (away from keyboard). A minecraft night lasts 8 minutes, starting at 13188t. If you AFK in this slime farm at the start of a waxing gibbous moon night for 50 minutes (including Minecraft daytime), you can expect around 2k slimeballs. The actual rates will vary slightly depending on regional difficulty; setting your world to hard difficulty will increase the productivity.
12:06 Techman88's swamp-based slime farm produces about 225 slimeballs on a full moon night, which is about the same as this farm on a crescent moon night.
12:49 The 4 hoppers can handle 36k drops per hour if you direct them into separate chests. If you have higher drop rates in your farm, use double speed hoppers.
13:35 See paragraph below.
13:50 See the multiplayer instructions above in the second paragraph of the video description.
14:13 Lure a nearby cat by standing still while holding out raw cod or salmon.
14:51 Any meat can be used to breed wolves.
LOOTING GNEMBON SLIME FARM
Portals can only be 23 blocks tall, so you'll need to stack 2 portals, one on top of the other, in order to cover one side of the slime chunk. The horizontal obsidian beam between the upper and lower portals will block big slimes from entering that portal. You can work around this by staggering the placement of the horizontal obsidian beams between different platforms so that the big slimes can still reach a portal on one of the other sides of the platform that is not obstructed. Big slimes will almost always get to one of the other portals just by randomly jumping around. Medium and small slimes are not obstructed by these obsidian beams. You could probably eliminate the top 4 or 5 platforms with little impact to the spawn rates. There is a layer of string matching the top platform to increase pack spawn rates. Torches on the platforms do not interfere with slime spawning, so you don't need to be concerned with placing too many.

@zombieinkhakis6891 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely brilliant farm design and so easy to build. For those building after the light level 0 changes (1.18-1.19 I believe), I HIGHLY recommend using brown mushrooms on podzol around the whole circle to make it all light level 1. With this change, you can remove the trap doors around the golems eyes for better path finding, the dogs and cats, all snow layers, and turtle eggs! It makes the farm so much cheaper to build if you chop down some big brown mushrooms. I just bonemealed a bunch of giant spruce trees to make it all podzol and then burned them down with flint and steel which takes a little time but so worth it. Its like a 15 minute build once you have the podzol and all the materials ready since you don't have to worry about cats or dogs or anything. Note: Removing the trap doors helps the slimes see the golem much faster but skeletons and zombies can now see them as well. This is only a problem though if you leave the platform during the night and hang around nearby so skeletons and zombies spawn around the outside of the circle. This can be avoided by either: completely fencing the circle in since zombies don't need to leave for the turtle egg anymore, or by placing some torches around the outside of the farm (preferably a little far away from the circle so the light inside is still 1-2 and not higher) and check F3 to see if light hits zero nearby if you want to be super safe. Big fan of Minecraft farms and this channel if you cant tell. Please keep up the good work! I truly love some of your farms like the next gen copper farm and its super cool mechanics. I always think "I want super big and the most productive farm!" and I look around and around but eventually come back here to build your version instead cause it is just so elegant and awesome compared to all the others.

I'm sad youtube took so long to recommend your vids, both the farm and the presentation are top notch and way more useful to me than vids from bigger channels recycling other people's farms without even understanding how or if they work. The farm itself is great! A slime farm I can set up early game without digging out a whole chunk and lighting up all nearby caves is a real winner. But even more than that, I love the presentation of it here. You include *everything*: a demonstration of it working to start off, the performance of it running, the exact mechanics which it relies upon so I know what is safe to modify/decorate and what isn't, and a block by block tutorial which even goes the extra mile to show how to build it in survival. Awesome stuff, wish more tutorials on YT would do that! Two 1.18 questions: Should we still include the torches on the roof now that mobs need complete darkness to spawn rather than light level 7? Also, you mention that 1.18 swamp based slime farms can be vastly more powerful, do you have any links to read/watch what has changed and how to take advantage of it?

First love the farm, it's working great. Second, at around 11:30 you suggest leaving the torches on the roof, I actually left one on each corner and I found I had almost no slimes spawning. So I went down removed all four torches and instead dropped half slabs along the tops of the portals. Now I find I'm getting slightly more slimes then your video suggests. The torches on the roof might be slightly reducing slime spawns.

@ianxofour hey just a heads up, I’m not sure if it alters the rates, but I constructed your farm in 1.18 using exactly the same design, but rather than use any of the animals/etc.. to lure other mobs away, I simply used controlled lighting to light the spawning area between 1-6 light level. The farm functions spawning only slimes and the rates seem to remain the same on average. It works because the new mob lighting rule doesn’t apply to slimes in swamps. They still operate by the same rule as before. Wonderful design btw and using this method it is extremely simple.

This farm is great and simple. I'm thinking about other way around - general mob farm using exactly same mechanics - dark room with portal on one side and cats and dogs on another. This could be done on dessert so zombies won't spawn and also spider spawn proofed. In 1.18 there will be problem with light emitted from the portal

@Duskkit 2 жыл бұрын

Use two sets of dogs & cats. One set in the spawning room, to drive the mobs off a short drop at the other end of the room. The second set on the lower level to drive them back the other way into the portal. That way the floor of the spawning room should block the portal's light and reduce or eliminate the impact it has on spawn ability. (Not sure which, I don't know the light level of a portal off the top of my head and so haven't done the math.) Calculate ideal player location based on the lower floor, arrange the lower dogs and cats so mobs that haven't fallen yet won't see them, and you're set! Or maybe just the one set of dogs and cats, but instead of directly driving the mobs into the portal they instead drive them into water streams. Though this may produce unwanted glow squids...

If you place brown mushrooms on every spawning block in the spawning area it will prevent any mob but slimes from spawning. Brown mushrooms emit a light level of 1. Mobs cannot spawn unless the light level is 0. Slimes can spawn at light levels 7 or below. This should improve your rates by a lot

Love your guides man. Any chance of an elegant spider farm? I play a UHC single player world, and most farm designs are terrifying in hardcore because they need height. Love to see some elegant spider farms in order to aid scaffold farming for more complex designs. If you feel inspired, a whole series of 'hardcore' friendly farms would be interesting?

Hi! Ender pearls should help enormously with falling in the nether. Just keep one in your hot bar and throw it straight down as you fall. In the overworld, you can place a few buckets of water at the base of the farm to make a landing pad. And my raid farm will get you lots of totems, and the farm is built in the ocean, so there is little risk to falling there. As for the spider farm, you can use the either use my scaffolding mob farm (which can start with minimal string requirements), or you can barter with piglins using all the gold from the gold xp farm. Do you think these approaches are hardcore friendly enough?

@@ianxofour So the main things that worry me specifically in UHC singleplayer, is mob cramming (killing me), falling, poison, (Not having a beacon), getting easy blaze / wither skeleton kills, getting mobbed by enemies lurking behind a portal. So kinda the stuff that worries new players who don't have all the mitigation skills you mentioned. Aside from building ugly utility like farms over the ocean, trying to negate a fall using water, enderpearls, etc is absolutely terrifying when you are up to several weeks of playtime. You can build bigger catching pads of course during construction though. I love the strategy of having the piglins under the bedrock, it's genius and easier then getting blasted to hell by ghasts if you build it wrong (done that before in smp) However using portal tricks to funnel mobs has been problematic in past updates, leading to accidentally flooding areas with mobs if you link your portals wrong (or if an update does it for you). If there are any bedrock breaks that still work, I guess I could try to find a mob elevator that works in the nether. At the end of the day, I was hoping to inspire some more video ideas, as your content / farms are some of the best on youtube for early game / re-running hardcore / efficiency of resources. Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work!

I had an idea for a music disc farm that uses similar principles to this, but places the wolves/cats on the outside of the spawning platform to force the skeletons and creepers into the portal, then uses separate placements of wolves and cats near the killing chamber to separate out the skeletons from the creepers to place them in separate spots. Pillars with 2-block-wide gaps and a 2-block-high ceiling of bottom slabs could be used to block the spawning of spiders and endermen, respectively, and the ceiling would also create ideal lighting for spawning. The turtle egg placements in this video's slime farm would stay the same, but the fences on the outside likely wouldn't be necessary if the zombies are far enough away to despawn before reaching them. Some challenges with this that would need to get worked out: 1. Since skeletons are a targeted mob, the farm likely wouldn't be able to use iron golems to lure skeletons into the portal since missed or intercepted arrows could cause premature fights. 2. The "killing chamber" would require a special design that filters a skeleton into a drop shaft on one side and an optimal amount of creepers into a shaft in the middle, with either the player or an iron golem standing on the opposite side of the skeleton so that the skeleton is able to see and fire at the player or golem, but the arrows would need to be intercepted by something to prevent them from damaging the player or golem while still allowing the skeleton to _attempt_ to damage its target, possibly involving flowing or still water and a clever placement of non-full blocks. This would likely require testing both the optimal placement of water/blocks as well as the optimal distance between the skeleton and the mob being fired at, as well as between the skeleton and the creeper. 3. The "filter" would require some method of only allowing one skeleton at a time to enter the far drop shaft (likely using pressure plates) while also finding some way to dispose of excess skeletons in order to prevent them from saturating the mob cap (entity cramming maybe?), since the farm will require far more creepers than skeletons. To improve startup times upon loading the farm's chunks, it may also be prudent to use carved pumpkins to prevent the skeleton in the chamber from despawning. 4. The placements of wolves and cats would likely need to be optimized to provide enough scare coverage of the spawning platform to force skeletons and creepers into the portal while still not requiring too many wolves and cats due to their relative difficulty of placement. Additionally, if pillars are used to block spider spawns, they should be placed such that they have a minimal impact on the visibility of the wolves and cats. 5. The occasional witch spawn would need to be filtered out somehow. I was going to suggest this in the Discord server, but you guys are still using MEE6 for some reason.

@@ianxofour Mostly because of their involvement with the NFT scene, but also because it wasn't a very good bot before then. It's annoying to get a "HEY YOU LEVELED UP" DM every 10 messages (especially when the "levels" are purely cosmetic), and many of the bot's features are locked behind paywalls even though other bots like Dymo or Kitchen Sink can do the same things. And now that they've doubled down hard on NFTs, their support server has adopted many of the same unhealthy behaviors as other crypto-based discords, becoming a self-policing high-control group that heavily scrutinizes any doubt regarding the owners' NFT investments since, as speculative assets, they're only valuable if people think they are (and will continue to be) valuable. As such, I'm unfortunately not comfortable supporting MEE6 by feeding it my userdata or encouraging its continued use by joining servers that use it.

I have built 4 of your farms, Wither, Dragon Trap, Gold and Raid with upgrade (nice upgrade as my closest outpost is super far away) and they are fantastic. This was the first one that didn’t work. 0 slimes spawned. Ever. I checked everything, mobs spawned, the dogs, cats , and eggs worked and mobs despawned at the circle, all 4 chunks were in a swamp, coincidently 1 was a slime chuck but I assumed that wouldn't affect anything. Turns out I took your advice (high point with no higher surrounding ground) but my swamp was hilly, so my area was at y 71. After consulting the wiki it turns out slimes only spawn up to y 70, so I had to lower everything by 2 blocks (I didn’t bother changing the Nether side) and it now works great with feet at y 69.

Damn, I built a slime farm not more than 3 days ago, and it's really slow, but since it's right below my base (which conveniently sits on a slime chunk, by luck) it just keeps producing slime most of the time, so it's fine for me. I must admit, tho, that had I seen this before I'd have no doubt used this design.

What sort of rates are you getting from your slime farm? My base is also conveniently on a slime chunk (it's my first base and the first time playing Minecraft but I'm on a friend server so I don't know if that affects anything) and I've built out some floors but whenever I visit them, there's no slimes there.

To improve by a lot by only allowing slimes to spawn in 1.18.2+. Place brown mushrooms on all spawnable blocks within the fences the mushrooms light a light level of 1 which is more then 0 so no normal mobs spawn but slimes spawn in anything under light level 7

Or i can build more modules in the overworld? Is there a reason why nether portal's need to build on high level?
