ChunkScope

How do I find slime chunks without mods? Slime chunks are fixed per seed (10% of chunks), so you never need mods to find them. Method 1 — Seed Map (fastest) Paste your seed into our Slime Chunk Finder and get every slime chunk instantly, including Bedrock. Method 2 — Dig test Pick a chunk you suspect (any chunk border you can see with F3+G on Java). Dig a 3×3 shaft to Y = 10–30 and light it fully. Wait 10 minutes AFK. If slimes appear, you’re in a slime chunk. This only works below Y = 40 — above that, slimes never spawn in chunks.

Java vs Bedrock farms — which rates should I trust? Farms measure output differently per edition because the spawn rules differ. Where they agree Iron farms: 6-villager designs produce within 10% on both editions. Sugarcane / bamboo / cactus: identical growth ticks. Nether portal linking: identical 1:8 rule. Where they differ Mechanic Java Bedrock Mob cap Per player (70 hostile) Per dimension (200+), shared by all players Simulation distance Loaded chunks follow player Fixed by setting (default 4 — raise to 6+) Slime chunks Seed-based, stable Same since 1.18; older worlds differ Redstone 0-tick, quasi-connectivity work No quasi-connectivity — some designs break Villager workstation claim Instant Delayed up to a minute Rule of thumb Trust ChunkScope numbers on both editions when the page says “Java & Bedrock”. For redstone designs, always build on Bedrock-compatible layouts (no quasi-connectivity tricks), and verify rates with the Farm Output Calculator.

My iron farm stopped producing — what’s wrong? Check these in order — one of them is almost always the cause. 1. Villagers aren’t sleeping Golems only spawn after villagers sleep and gossip. Make sure every villager has a claimed bed with 2 blocks of air above it. A villager that can’t sleep stops the whole cycle. Fix: break and re-place beds, or add a third cell. Verify at night — all villagers must lie down.

Why do my Nether portals link to the wrong place? Portal linking feels random until you know the three rules. Rule 1 — The 1:8 ratio Every Nether block equals 8 Overworld blocks. A portal at Nether (10, 20) should link near Overworld (80, 160). The game converts coordinates, then searches for an existing portal. Rule 2 — The search radius After converting, the game searches for a portal in a 128-block radius (Overworld) / 16-block radius (Nether). If it finds any portal there, it links to that one — even if it’s not the “right” one.
