Slimes

Productive slimes are friendly slimes that come in 43 types. Each type has its own color, its own food and its own slimeball. They never attack you and never split when they die.

Size and growth

Slimes have a size from 1 to 4. Size matters because a slime makes as many slimeballs as its size, both in the wild and in a Slime Pen.

Change	How	Food needed
Size 1 → 2 (adult)	Right-click with its food	4, one at a time
Size 2 → 3	Sneak + right-click with its food	8 at once
Size 3 → 4	Sneak + right-click with its food	12 at once

Each slime only eats its own food. A Stone Slime eats Cobblestone, an Iron Slime eats Raw Iron. You can see every food on the slime types page, or hover a slime with Jade installed.

Wild slimes spawn at size 1 or 2. Babies from breeding are always size 1.

TIP

Growing to size 4 costs 20 food after the slime is an adult, but it quadruples what the slime makes for the rest of its life.

Feeding an adult

Right-clicking an adult (size 2 or more) with its food, without sneaking, puts it in love for 30 seconds. See Breeding.

Wild production

Slimes that roam free still drop slimeballs, but at half the speed of a pen: one drop of size slimeballs every two pen batches. A wild Green Slime of size 2 drops 2 Green Slimeballs every 2 minutes.

When a slime dies it drops as many slimeballs as its size.

Slimeballs

Every type drops its own slimeball, tinted in the slime's color.
