Slime Venom Blaster

Quickstart

1. Craft the blaster at a crafting table:

1. Place the Slime Venom Blaster in your hotbar and hold it.
2. Aim at a hostile mob or other living target and use the item. The blaster launches a venomous slime projectile.
3. A direct hit deals heavy damage and inflicts strong Poison. Try it against a zombie, skeleton, or creeper.
4. Wait briefly between shots. The blaster has a short cooldown, and each shot uses one durability point.

In Creative mode, find the blaster in the Combat item group, or use:

/give @s slime-venom-blaster-sdonqdg5:slime_venom_blaster_sdonqdg5

Overview

The Slime Venom Blaster is a reusable projectile weapon. It fires green slime venom that travels in the direction you aim.

• Maximum stack size: 1
• Durability: 256
• Cooldown: 12 game ticks between shots
• Projectile: Venomous slime blast
• Direct-hit damage: 8 points
• Poison duration: 12 seconds
• Poison strength: Poison IV

The blaster is treated as an enchantable weapon.

How To Use

Hold the blaster in either hand and use it to fire. The projectile launches from near your eyes and follows your aim.

A projectile that strikes a living target:

• Deals 8 points of direct damage.
• Applies Poison IV for 12 seconds.
• Disappears after hitting the target.

A projectile that hits a block disappears and plays a slime squish sound. Block impacts do not create an area poison effect, so aim directly at the target you want to poison.

The weapon has a short cooldown after each use, so firing continuously is not possible. Every shot also reduces the blaster's durability by 1.

Crafting And Obtaining

The blaster requires iron, slime, gunpowder, and a fermented spider eye. Craft it using the shaped recipe shown below:

You can also obtain it directly in Creative mode from the Combat item group.

Abilities And Mechanics

Venomous Slime Blast

The fired projectile is a small flying slime projectile. It is suited to attacking enemies from a short distance while keeping away from melee range.

Direct Impact Poison

Only a direct hit on a living target applies the blaster's venom. The projectile cannot poison its owner, so firing at yourself does not apply the effect.

Durability

The blaster is reusable, but it wears down with use. Each shot consumes one durability point, and the item has 256 durability points. Keep an eye on its durability before taking it into a long fight.

Progression And Strategy

• Use the blaster to weaken dangerous mobs before they reach you.
• Aim for direct hits; shots striking nearby blocks do not poison anything.
• Use the cooldown to reposition, shield, or switch to another weapon.
• Save shots for high-health targets, since Poison IV makes a successful hit especially effective.
• Carry a backup weapon for close combat and extended expeditions.
