Jerry the Slime is a character and so-called deuteragonist in Jordan's Minecraft Survival Let's Play. He appears in episode 6, titled "Jerry the Slime". This episode has over 2 million views.
In the episode, he found a small slime while mining in a cave, and took it in as his pet after realising that the smallest slimes do not remove health. He trapped him in a cobblestone cage to prevent him from escaping, so he could return after doing some mining. He named him Jerry. When he came back, Jerry had despawned, causing a deep sadness in CaptainSparklez. He said he could not go on. To carry on the legend of Jerry and his soul, Jordan built the first version of Jerry's Tree in Episode 9 of his first survival let's play. In Episode 28.5, or his 500th video, the "Minecraft pimps" redesigned Jerry's Tree to make it more monument-like. Jerry's Memorial was made. After that, many different videos were made about Jerry. There is also official Minecraft merchandise of the slime. Jerry has been mentioned frequently since. Jordan also follows a naming pattern for all his pets, with all of them rhyming with Jerry (Carrie, Mary, etc.). May Jerry's soul rest in peace.
Jerry also has a mod based on him, which was used in CaptainSparklez's Modded Survival series. There is also a fan game known as "The Adventures of Jerry the Slime" which CaptainSparklez played and beat. Jordan also crafted Jerry's Sword - A Slime Sword after installing the Jerry mod. Jordan placed Jerry's Sword in a frame at the memorial alongside Land Shark's fin in a later Let's Play.
The former Black Plasma Studios Animator Eagle Empire created an animated short film about Jerry and Jordan where Jordan needs to rescue Jerry.
In the next episode, Episode 7 "Mistakes were made", Captainsparklez finds another slime which he calls Ben, because he loves Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Yerrj is Jerry's opposite, being a magma slime.
On July 13, 2016, Jordan played a map called The Ultimate Block 3. At the end area of the map, the map creator, PixelVolt, created a machine for Jordan, which resurrects despawned mobs, and to Jordan’s surprise, Jerry was resurrected, reuniting the two.
