"Slimes of any size will begin to take burn damage upon touching lava and die moments later without splitting into smaller slimes. Slimes cannot swim; therefore, they will drown if they are completely submerged in water and will be unable to jump out. "
"Attacking a slime will cause it to break into four smaller sized slimes unless a weapon that does more than 2 hearts of damage is used."
in other words, try to destroy one with smthn that does 2+ damage, if that doesnt work and it splits? walk in a fucking lava pool!
