About the Oozing Effect

Oozing makes the affected entity spawn slimes when it dies, multiplying your problems mid-fight, and it originates from slime-related attacks in trial chambers.

How to Get Oozing in Survival

Oozing is applied by slime attacks connected to trial chamber spawners and their projectiles. Like its sibling effects Weaving and Infested, no potion version exists; it is chamber-specific.

Using Oozing Well

Slimes splitting from an Oozing death can chain-apply the effect in chaotic fights, so focus affected mobs down at range. Milk clears it if you get tagged yourself and want no surprises.
