How to get slimeballs once you find a slime:

Don't attack them with a sword, doing so will kill them without splitting. For whatever reason, slimeballs only drop from the smallest slimes so you absolutely need to hit them only with your fists or other items that do no extra damage. Once they are split to their smallest, you will get slimeballs. You can easily get 10+ slimeballs from a single big slime this way since one big slime will split into 16 small ones.

As for finding them, use Rei's Minimap, light a cavern underground and just pray. Slimes are green dots on the entity minimap so if you see one, hightail your way to them.

Basically, if you overkill a slime, it won't split. Didn't used to be a problem, because 2 arrows would kill a big one perfectly, 1 arrow would kill the medium ones perfectly, and punching would kill the harmless little ones.

Now what I do is fire 1 fully charged arrow at a large one, and punch and punch and punch.

I die a lot more in 1.8
