Colored Slimes
Colored Slimes changes how slimes spawn and look, giving them random dye colors and letting servers control where and when they appear.
What it does
Slimes spawn in one of the 16 dye colors, chosen at random, and a large slime passes its color on to the smaller slimes it splits into. The jumping particles also take the slime's color, so the change is visible during play. A config option turns off random colors if a world should keep only the default slimes.
The mod also lets server owners change the spawn rules for slimes through config options. The spawn sky light level range is set with a minimum and a maximum from 0 to 15, slimes can be limited to the surface or allowed underground, and a height band between 50 and 255 can be chosen. A value of 0 for the light level means no slimes spawn there. Changes to the vanilla spawn rule JSON file can be replaced by these settings, and the mod can be removed again to restore the original rules.
Colored Slimes requires Aquarius Libs, which must be installed next to it on every loader. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
