How can I create "Slime Smasher" in Minecraft?

In Slime Smasher, players must defeat slimes that spawn around them. The game keeps track of how many slimes the player has defeated, offering a simple but challenging gameplay experience. Here's how you can create this entertaining game using Tynker:

Slime Smasher

Modify Slime Appearance (Optional)

Tool: Tynker's Mob Editor

a. Open the Mob Editor.

b. Select the slime. Customize its appearance if you want to add a unique twist.

c. Save your changes and install the mob add-on. Apply the Resource and Behavior Pack in Minecraft.

Create the Slime Spawning Mechanism

Tool: Mod Editor

a. Open the Mod Editor.

b. Write code to spawn slimes at random intervals around the player's location.

c. Set the number frequency of the slimes.

d. Test the spawning mechanism to make sure it works as intended.

Implement the Scoring System

Tool: Mod Editor

a. Write code to create a variable that will keep track of the score.

b. Increment the variable by one each time a slime is defeated by the player.

c. Display the score visibly so the player can keep track of their achievements. For example, report the score to Minecraft chat with the Say blocks.

d. Test the scoring system to make sure it displays the player's achievements.

Here's a hint at how you could achieve it:
