Shapeless ➜ Productive Slimes Guide

Its pages, as written in the game:

Page 1
Productive Slimes

Raise slimes that make resources. This guide covers the basics. With JEI installed, press R on a spawn egg or slime jar to see how to breed it.

Page 2
The Slimy Land

A bright green biome found in mild climates. Wild productive slimes only spawn here, and Slime Crystal Ore only forms here, inside Slimy Stone.

Page 3
Slime Crystal

Mine Slime Crystal Ore with a stone pickaxe or better. Crystal goes into jars, pens, squeezers and upgrades. Slime Shrines hold a few too.

Page 4
Slime Jar

Right-click a productive slime with an empty jar to catch it. Right-click a block to let it out. The jar keeps the slime's type, size and name.

Page 5
Feeding

Each slime eats one food: a Stone Slime eats cobblestone. A size 1 slime grows to size 2 after 4 food. Sneak-feed an adult to grow it: 8 food to size 3, 12 to size 4.

Page 6
Breeding

Feed two adults (size 2+) their food. They find each other and make a size 1 baby, then rest for 5 minutes.

Page 7
Catalysts

Most recipes need a block within 2 blocks of the parents. Stone + Stone next to Andesite makes an Andesite Slime. Two of one type make that type when no catalyst matches.

Page 8
Slime Pen

Put a filled jar in a pen. Every batch gives one slimeball per slime size, so grow your slimes before penning them.

Page 9
Pen Food

Put the slime's food in the pen's food slot. One item keeps the slime fed for 4 batches, and fed batches run twice as fast.

Page 10
Slime Squeezer

Press slimeballs into their resource: an Iron Slimeball gives an Iron Ingot, a Stone Slimeball gives 2 Stone.

Page 11
Speed Upgrades

The Slime Pen and the Slime Squeezer each take two upgrades. Speed: 25% faster. Advanced: twice as fast. Two upgrades stack.

Page 12
Automation

Hoppers and pipes work. Pen: jars go in the top, food in the sides, slimeballs come out the bottom. Squeezer: slimeballs go in the top or sides, results come out the bottom.
