I need help because I want to build a slime farm I have found chunks using a slime chunk finder. I have built it below level 40 at 14, It's a 16 by 16 area and I have triple checked my coordinates -177 -833 to -192 -848 and seed 5545643967389872387 using this website. .             I have placed jack o' lanterns spaced out on it. It is in fact 3 blocks tall. I at one point left the area more than 25 blocks away and less than 40 for about 4 hours! and not a single slime has spawned. What can I do or what am I doing wrong.

I dug a large room to specifications, 3 blocks tall and 16 blocks wide as well as long. I dug it at 10 levels above bedrock, in a location {(-240, 0) -> (-224, 16)} specified by  slime finder app. I am definitely more than 24 blocks away and less than 32 away from the spawn room, as specified by the wiki .  Yet, no slimes. I have been sitting in my location patiently listening for the moist slapping sounds of slime. I have gone in to the room every time I heard a phantom slap but still nothing.  Am I just being dumb somehow or do the minecraft lords just hate me?  If it helps/anyone cares here's my seed: 6405460532872068998

I can't figure it out. I can only summon mobs with other mob heads. I've been wanting to summon a cow with a water source block head and name it " Underwater Mission Fail"— Is that possible?

I'm trying to help my young son to download/install Mods for Minecraft - but it seems like an impossible task. I know nothing about Minecraft, but have tried to download many Mods from different sites - some seems to be downloaded and some don't.   However - when downloading the files I'm never asked where to store the files, I don't know where they need to be stored, and even if some have been stored in the folders where all the other Minecraft files are, nothing happens in Minecraft when starting the game. So - what to do and how? Step-by-step please - as you undertsand from the above I'm on deep water here...   How to download and where to store the files  Any action to "activate" the files in Minecraft?   A million thanks from me &amp; my son:-)

I am trying to make a Minecraft map but I can't set the world spawn. I did /setworldspawn then /kill and I ended up 10 blocks away then I tried again I was still 5 blocks away.   In the map it needs to keep updating your spawn point and having it not not working correctly is not an option. In one case I set the spawn, and then ended up in the next level of my map, which is clearly not intended.

I have looked everywhere for lava or obsidian in 0.7.1. I've looked all the way from top to bottom and all around, in about a 100 block diameter, but I can't find any. Where can I get some?

I am on creative and was exploring the Nether. I happened to travel very far without realizing it and could not find my way back. I decided to try and make another nether portal but that sent me to the middle of an ocean.  I can't kill myself and go to spawn because I am on creative if anyone can help that would be great.

I'm playing on a SMP server and am trying to use the Nether to link up all my disparate bases around the world. Note in the below, A is Overworld, B is Nether.  I started with one portal (A1, thus spawning B1 in the Nether), and then created another portal a ways away in the Nether (B2), hoping it would be near the main area all the other players congregate. It (A2) was pretty close to where I wanted it, but not exactly. I then created another portal a short distance away (A3), which was where I was hoping A2 would land. I then went somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 squares away from where I initially built A1 (in the opposite direction of A2/A3) and created another portal, A4.   One would think A3 and A4 would create B3 and B4 on the Nether side, respectively. However, A4 linked to B1, and A3 linked to B2. The weird part is, A1 is further from A4 than A1 is from A3.   I hope that made any sense. My question is:  How far away do portals on the Overworld map need to be from each other in order to spawn separate portals in the Nether? Or, what are some ways to ensure a new portal won't link to an existing one?

Is there any way for which we are able to stop a zombie from de-spawning no matter how far we go? If so, what are all possible ways?  Bonus question: what are all the other techniques for which we can prevent a zombie from de-spawning within a specific block radius?

In what way do animals in Minecraft spawn? It looks to me that they spawn more during the night (but where there are torches) and more kind of around you / around some other human player. Am I right, or does it work some other way?  Thank you.

I'm playing Minecraft on Xbox 360 and I can't find the . I have tried every trick I can think of, including the xray glitch, and recreating the world in Creative mode to dig out the entire stronghold and the surrounding areas. I have found nothing and I am totally lost on where it could be.  The seed is 1833758535681455132

Are there any effective AFK squid farming techniques?  I'm running out of squid ink trading with villagers.  From what I can tell in reading the forums, is that one needs to either:  eliminate all water in a region, and build an aquarium and harvest squid that way.    Or go to the bottom of the ocean, and drop holes in the ocean, and collect the squid there (because squid swim down, but not up, and thus always end at the bottom of the ocean.)  I'm looking for a minimal amount of effort (I get about 2 hours of minecraft time a week! :(  )  approach to getting a reasonable farm for acquiring ink sacs.  I very much prefer AFK farms (due to the small at keyboard time I have).  I have yet to find a decent AFK farm for squid.

Wolves? What wolves? I have only spotted ONE wolf in playing minecraft for the past two weeks!  Can anyone tell me where I can find one? Is there some sort of biome they prefer? Are the spawning rules for wolves any different from regular critters?

I need to summon about 16 mobs at once. But I don't want to use 16 command blocks. So I want to know: Is it possible so use /summon to summon 16 Zombies at once?

Anyone have useful strategies for finding a Nether Fortress in Minecraft's Nether?  I got into the nether and wandered around for quite a while, but didn't find anything.  I'm not sure if there are giveaways (I was looking for large building-like things in the distance).  I've got a map, and have explored a small, but not unreasonable part of it.  Any idea how many fortresses a single map might contain?

I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found . However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here?

I like the /gamerule command, but how would I make it so only zombies or ghasts don't spawn? Ghasts are really annoying... I'm sure you understand.

I made a really good castle in creative mode but had not slept in a bed on superflat mode. Someone killed me and that somehow reset my spawn more than once. I did tests in a new world of the same kind of circumstances and found that when killed and not having slept in a bed you respawn in a totally different area. If anyone knows how to get back to my original spawn point I would really appreciate the help.
