Slime

Mobs & entity

The Slime is a hostile mob that spawns naturally across 55 biomes, including Badlands, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Birch Forest, and Cherry Grove.

Players fight slimes to collect the slimeballs they drop when killed. A spawn egg for the mob also exists, which lets players summon one directly.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
