Resourceful Slimes
by tymogekh
Resourceful Slimes lets slimes generate vanilla resources, so players can produce lapis lazuli and netherite scrap from slime farms instead of mining for them.
What it does
Slimes produced by the mod generate resources, with 12 vanilla resource variants covered in total, including lapis lazuli and netherite scrap. A player obtains these by building a Slime Lab, supplying the matching ingredients and powering the lab with redstone. Slimes grown this way always end up at the smallest size, and the list of resource variants is shown in the mod's documentation.
To make resources, a player feeds slimes by hand with a Slime Feeder, which turns the slime into resource-bearing slime balls. Those balls are then sieved with the Slime Sieve to recover the corresponding resource. The Slime Bucket recipe shows what a player needs before starting. Slime saturation can be checked with Slimepedia, which also lists the slime stats and other values, including the variety bonuses and the small chance that a slime splits more often.
Most of the numbers involved, such as bonuses and split chances, can be changed in the config file, which allows server owners to tune the balance. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for NeoForge on 26.1.2 and 26.2. The latest NeoForge file, 2.1.0, targets 26.2 and was released on 2026-08-29. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that adds recipe lookup for the mod's recipes.
