How to Find Slime Chunks

By PickaxeKit Editorial Team · Updated 2026-11-08

On Java, slime chunks depend on your world seed: enter it and your coordinates in a slime chunk finder. On Bedrock they are the same in every world, so you only need coordinates. Then dig below Y = 40 inside a green chunk.

Step by step

1. Get your seed (Java only): type /seed, or read it with the World Info tool.
2. Open the Slime Chunk Finder, pick your edition and enter your X and Z.
3. Pick a green chunk close to you and note its block range (or copy the /tp command).
4. On Java, press F3 + G to show chunk borders so you stay inside the chunk.
5. Dig down below Y = 40 and clear out a room for slimes to spawn.

Java vs Bedrock

Tip: Light up nearby caves so other mobs don't fill the mob cap, and stay close enough for the chunk to stay active.
