In the world of Minecraft, the player needs many different resources to implement his ideas. Some materials are quite easy to get, while others will have to tinker with. For example, it can be quite difficult to find slime that only drops from rare monsters - slugs.
Finding slugs in caves
Like many other aggressive monsters, slugs appear only under certain conditions. The points of their appearance depend on the grain of the world, as well as the depth and presence of illumination. The fact is that slugs prefer to appear in a lit space, so you should look for them in deep canyons and caves.
The close presence of a slug can be detected by the characteristic slapping sound that accompanies the movement of the monster. If you come across a slug in a cave, try to mark the place of its appearance and illuminate it as much as possible. This must be done to avoid the appearance of other monsters. Since the number of creatures in each location is limited, it is in your best interest to make sure that only slugs can spawn.
There is another way to search for slugs at depth, but its effectiveness has not been 100% proven. All you need to do is get to the minimum level, dig up a large enough room, light it up and wait a while. If the slug does not appear, you will need to dig up another room in the neighborhood and repeat the algorithm until the point where the slugs appear.
other methods
In addition, slugs appear on the surface, but only in swamps and only at night. If you want to provide yourself with excess mucus, you should find the place where the slugs appear and fence off a large area with earth or stone.
There is also a cheating way to quickly find the place where the slugs appear. There are sites on the Internet that make it possible to analyze the grain of the world and calculate the areas where slugs appear. In addition to the seed itself, the value of which can be found by typing the / seed command in the console, you will need to enter the coordinates of the search area. As a result, you will have a picture at your disposal, which is a white grid with several green squares. Each green square is an area of 16x16 blocks in which slugs appear, but note that you will also need to dig an underground passage to the desired depth, if we are not talking about a swamp region.
When you are going to search for slugs, prepare for various surprises. Since lava is the most common source of light favored by slugs at depth, it is advisable to stock up on a potion of fire resistance. Also, don't forget food, weapons, armor, and enough torches to travel underground.
Please note that slugs are aggressive creatures, so it is not safe to attack them. Three types of slugs can be found in the game: large, medium and small. After you inflict enough damage on a large individual, it will split into several medium ones, which, in turn, are able to divide into small slugs. It is from the latter type that the resource you need falls out.
