A melee hit on a player with no armor. Easy = half + 1 (never more than Normal), Hard = 1.5× — the game's own formula.
What does the Slime drop?
CalculatedExact chance per kill, with the Looting levels side by side. Rare drops need the kill to come from a player.
| Item | Chance | Looting 1 | Looting 2 | Looting 3 | Count | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Slimeballkilled by a Frogsize-dependent | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 1 | 1 |
| Slimeballsize-dependent | 66.7% | 83.3% | 91.7% | 94.4% | 1–5 | 1 |
XP and player-only drops need the player to have hit the mob within the last 5 seconds. Armor and weapons a mob spawned with drop separately (8.5% per item, +1% per Looting level).
