Slime Flow

Quickstart

1. Craft a Flowing Slime Bucket using a Slime Ball and a Bucket:

1. Find a spot you want to flood — a pit, a mob trap, or a hallway.
2. Right-click to pour the slime. Watch the translucent green liquid spread and slowly flow downward.
3. Walk into it to feel the bounce-then-stick physics for yourself.
4. To pick it back up, right-click the source block with an empty bucket, just like water or lava.

Overview

Slime Flow introduces Flowing Slime, a craftable liquid that behaves like a slow, sticky version of lava. It spreads across floors, traps mobs, and reacts violently to fire and lava. The liquid is fully reusable — pour it out, scoop it back up — making it a versatile tool for mob farms, traps, and creative builds.

What It Adds

Flowing Slime can also be found naturally as underground slime pools generated throughout the Overworld, so keep an eye out while caving.

Slimes killed in the world have a small chance to leave behind a pool of Flowing Slime where they die.

How To Use

Pouring and Collecting

• Right-click any surface with a Flowing Slime Bucket to pour it.
• Right-click a Flowing Slime source block with an empty bucket to collect it back into a bucket.
• The fluid spreads up to 4 blocks outward and flows downward slowly (much slower than water).

Riding the Flow

You can walk directly into and on top of Flowing Slime. Use it as a slow conveyor, a bouncy landing pad, or a hazard for enemies.

Mob Trapping

Pour slime into a pit or corridor. Non-slime mobs that enter will be slowed, bounced, and gradually pulled down — making it excellent for mob containment and funneling in farm designs.

Commands (Admin / Creative)

Three commands are available for quick testing and world management:

• Give yourself a Flowing Slime Bucket
• Place a puddle of Flowing Slime at a target location
• Clear nearby Flowing Slime

Crafting And Obtaining

The Flowing Slime Bucket can be crafted in several ways:

Primary recipe — Slime Ball + Bucket (shaped):

Alternative recipes (shapeless):

• 1 Bucket + 1 Slime Block
• 1 Bucket + 2 Slime Balls + 1 Green Dye

You can also find Flowing Slime naturally in underground slime pools in the Overworld, and scoop it up with an empty bucket.

Abilities And Mechanics

Entity Physics in Flowing Slime

When a player or non-slime mob enters Flowing Slime:

• First contact: A bounce effect, similar to landing on a Slime Block.
• While submerged: The entity sticks and slowly sinks, with small periodic rebound pulses.
• Fall damage is reduced for entities landing in or on the slime.
• Slime mobs are immune to the sticky and bounce effects — they move freely through it.

Drowning and Poison

If your head is submerged in Flowing Slime:

• You receive the Poison status effect.
• Your air supply drains faster than it would in water, leading to rapid suffocation.
• Plan accordingly — don't swim through large pools without a way out.

Fire and Lava Reactions

Flowing Slime is highly reactive to heat:

This makes Flowing Slime dangerous to use near lava or open flames, but also a creative explosive trigger for trap designs.

Progression And Strategy

Early game: Slime Balls are the only ingredient needed beyond a bucket. Farm slimes in swamp biomes or slime chunks to get started quickly.

Mob farms: Pour Flowing Slime into collection chambers or drop shafts. Mobs that fall in are slowed, bounced, and held in place, making them easy to funnel into a killing zone. Slimes themselves pass through freely, so you can selectively trap non-slime mobs in mixed farms.

Traps: A thin layer of slime in a corridor is nearly invisible at a glance due to its translucency. Hostile mobs that walk through will be slowed and stuck, giving you time to engage safely.

Lava bombs: Contain a Flowing Slime pool near lava — or pour slime next to existing lava flows — to trigger an explosion on demand. Use pistons or dispensers to control the reaction remotely.

Cave exploration: Underground slime pools generate naturally, so you may encounter Flowing Slime while caving. Bring an empty bucket to collect it for free.
