    Hey everyone!

    I just came across some ideas for slime farming and i decided to build one of those farms before building a gold farm so i can plan things a little better.
    So then i encountered 3 problems:
    1) I have no access to the map seed, which in conclusions makes it impossible to find slime chunks with any tools. this just causes problem #2
    2) After flying around (~25-30 blocks height) above my y=0 platform - fully lighted) i found not a single slime spawning.
    3) Changing my island biome(s) would be another option, but even if the donor perk was meant to be accessable for skylegend rank, its not (why?)

    (tl;dr)
    Can anyone tell me how to properly find (in case my skyblock has some) slime chunks?
    Could any of the staff (who has access to seed) find out if i have slime chunks? (im not asking for coordinates or chunks, just a yes or no)
    How do i change the biomes (donor perk!?) of my skyblock?


    Thanks for reading this wall of text :p
    Regards, Bommlmitz

    Best way to find a slime chunk is to build a 99x99 platform at y=1 and then fence off each chunk or build a wall 2 high around each chunk so slims can't hop out. Then you just have to wait to see if they spawn.

    You also need to be within X blocks for them to spawn as well if I'm not mistaken.

    You can't build at y=0, that's why it's y=1.

    Biome changes, sadly don't work yet ( one of the main reasons i donated ... :D but oh well)
    we had our platform layed out at y=5, fenced it off into the actual F3 readout chunks, found 3 and a half-chunk pretty fast
    We then built the same type of farms on every positive chunk. Luckily the half-chunk was adjacent to a whole chunk so we just made that one a tad bigger.
    I also feel like there are good and not so good performing chunks - spawnwise . (the farms are pretty central on the bottom layer so they should all be loaded up if someone is around)
    I also noticed the spawning rates are best at days that have full moon nights, just a feeling tho , could be wrong

    I don't know much about factions but I'm guessing the slimes spawn like in a normal survival world and slimes spawn at night in swamps and in a recent update they made it where slimes spawns are also based on the moon phase.

    Here is what I found about it:
    Hope this helps you
