What's the best solution for dealing with slimes? They spawn in my storage compression room and jump all over my packagers and logistics pipes!!!

 

I don't know if magnum torch prevents them from spawning (to clarify these are the slime chunks, so they spawn there at any light level)

 

 

I don't really want to use modular forcefields there for such a small issue, but I don't know what my options are anyway. Can you recommend me best ways to kill mobs/prevent them from spawning?

 

Edit: This is probably general discussion and not an issue/bug problem. Sorry for posting in a wrong place.

Don't slimes still need to spawn on normal blocks? Using slabs, glass or other transparent blocks as your floor should prevent them from spawning too. Or at least make it much less common.

I'm never quite sure on the range of those magnum torches, I don't have one in the room with slimes, but I think it should be within range of the one on the surface. Besides slimes that spawn from slime chunks don't really follow regular vanilla mob spawning rules, so I'm not sure if they ignore magnum torch or not. Will have to place one there and check

Too much pain. I have a bunch of machines in the room and if I start dropping slabs it will look ugly and uneven. But thanks! Knowing this will definitely come in hand some other time.

I think Magnum Torches are only effective for about 32 blocks vertically, even though its horizontal range is much greater. You could also try using just a chandelier instead of a full magnum torch, depending on the size of the room.
