I play hard survival and usually find slimes spawning in a cave while exploring/mining then mark that spot and go down to level 12 to build a slime room. I dig out a room 3 blocks high and square it off and close it up. Slimes will spawn and bounce around until they get to a corner. Make sure they can not get into lava (burn up) or water (drown) they can not swim. The video below shows this technique and is 4 and a half minutes long. First 3 minutes is me showing different ways to kill slimes. The part about the describing the slime farm construction is the last minute and a half.
i know how to find slimes but building a 16 by 16 room wont encompass the chunk unless its the actual chunk.
example I could make a 16 room but only have of it is in the chunk so half of them spawn and hop away.
I was asking if there is a actual slime finder like there is for ps3 that was for ps4.
Like on my ps3 i looked up a chunk. dug out a 16 by 16 room. they only spawn inside it and I then made it into a farm. I guess I could try just making a HUGE room but would make it alot harder to contain and control where they go
My smallest slime farms are something like 30 blocks by 80 blocks and I try to cover more than 1 slime chunk. I don't use any auto kill methods and just run around slashing when I get several in there.
Remember that chunks are 16 blocks square and they start at 0, so the blocks between 0,0 and 15,15 inclusive would be one chunk, etc. The slime finder that IAMBaldur888 linked for you indicates the corners of each chunk, too (down in the lower right, updating as you move your cursor between squares) so you know exactly where to dig your slime spawning area.
I kind of went overboard once, in an old PC game, and built a multi-platform spawning chamber, a water system to move the slimes to where I waited for them, etc. Then I came to the depressing realization I'd spent hours upon hours creating something to produce slimeballs ... and what was I going to do with that many slimeballs? I filled up a couple of double chests, and never went back there again.
In every game since, I've done something more like Baldur's big empty room: I just find a slime chunk near where I'm going to be mining, dig myself out a suitably-sized room on level 12, put in some windows so I can see where the slimes are, and let 'em spawn while I'm mining elsewhere on that level. Then I go kill any slimes that may happen to have spawned when I'm done mining for that session. This gives me more than enough slimeballs for any sane use.
I do it for the leader board the top guy has 11000 at the moment. He and I are competing. Plus my last sugar cane farm alone took 120 sticky pistons. Also in future updates they will be used to make bouncy slime blocks and can be used to make magma cream. Thank you all for trying to help though. I just wanted to know if any word on if there was any new sites for the ps4 like there was on chunkbase
I have used that site before u have to pick console or pc I have never seen a section for ps4. bc when u hit console it does not let you view full map.ps4 has larger maps. I will try it any way and see though thanks.
Update: I checked it out and if you click PC instead of console it matches up to the ps4. Well at least it did for the map I have. I picked a spot I knew slimes spawn and walled it off. Then checked slime finder to that location. It was smack in the middle of a chunk. When I picked console it didn't work bc I was out of range of the smaller old console style maps.
Any one else try it and put PC instead and it worked the same like for me??
Pick PC for the PS4 if you want to find chunks outside your spawn map - seeds are the same across all platforms, including PC, so the chunks will be in the same places.
