Wandering traders, also known as wandering villagers, do occasionally sell slimeballs for a price of 4 emeralds, although their offerings can vary greatly. The availability of slimeballs from these traders is not guaranteed and depends on their current stock, which can include a wide variety of goods such as dyes, flowers, coral blocks, and nautilus shells.
Understanding Wandering Traders
Wandering traders are special villagers dressed in blue robes and are accompanied by llamas. They spawn randomly after approximately 3 hours of real-life playtime and do not always have the same items in stock. This unpredictability makes encountering a wandering trader with slimeballs in stock a fortunate event for players seeking this item.
Locating Slimeballs
For players looking to obtain slimeballs without relying on the chance encounter with a wandering trader, there are alternative methods. Slimes that spawn in swamp biomes can be killed to obtain slimeballs, or players can dig deep into the earth to find slime chunks, where slimes naturally spawn. Another option is to find an Adventurer in a village, who may sell slimeballs for 14 coins.
