I have a question about the slimes and the next update on the Xbox. First of all, how do I make a very good slime farm? And about the update, which version of minecraft will it be?
The update will be 1.7.3 and it will be in July. There is a bug patch coming out in the next few weeks before that though.
As for slime farms, the best way to make a good one is to search caves for any signs of Slimes. They only spawn in specific chunks on the map. Once you think you've found where they spawn, make a 16x16x3 room. Slimes only spawn in the lowest 16 layers of the map by the way. They spawn extremely slow so don't worry if the room doesn't spawn a slime right away. But if it's been about 1 or 2 real life days and one hasn't spawned, then it isn't a slime spawning chunk.
I have a Slime farm, just make a strip mine straight down to bedrock and clear out a room thats 30 wide, 6 tall and 100-120 long and you will probably spawn slimes!
He probably wanted an automatic slime farm.. The use of water is good, as the bigger ones can't swim up. Once they break down, use a water elevator to bring them up for you to kill. You can youtube vids of how to make it.
I have an automatic slime farm on my pc version but i also have buildcraft so they go up the stairs and water pushes them into another hole where they fall to there death then water pushes the slimes to harvest to the pipe and sucks them up and throws them in my chests
However, some people suggested just digging down and hoping for the best . . . but that's really not a good way to go about it. You really need to use some kind of external program to show you where a slime chunk is so that you can be sure to have slime spawns and not waste hours clearing out area that may not give you any spawns anyway.
Is there a way to get your seed in the 360 version? That way you could input that into one of those external programs I mentioned.
