Tips for Finding Sticky Piston

  • Slimeballs drop from Slimes, which spawn in Slime Chunks (below Y 40) and Swamp biomes (at night)
  • Use an online Slime Chunk finder with your world seed to locate Slime spawning chunks
  • Swamp biomes at night have surface-level Slime spawns between Y 51 and 69
  • Pulls the attached block back when retracted, unlike regular pistons
