How do you find and farm Minecraft slimes? This rare Minecraft mob can be a little hard to find, but once you know how, you can farm hundreds of slimeballs – destroying these green gelatinous cubes might be harder than you think though, once you get up close to their cute faces (geometry pun).

Possibly one of the cooler Minecraft mobs, the slime comes in a variety of sizes, and while they’re technically hostile, they become passive in their smallest form and make the cutest of Minecraft housemates. The best place to find them, as we discuss in more detail below, is underground, so you might come across this lime-green companion when hunting for Minecraft diamonds, making your mining trips even more fruitful. So, if you aren’t sure what to do with a Minecraft slime when you find them, or wish to know how to farm them, read on for all the details.
