If you have seen a slime, then very likely there are just too many other places for MOBS to spawn in the 150×150 region around you, that fill up all the MOB slots. Time to break out the torches, and start lighting everything around you.
Can slimes spawn anywhere in a slime chunk?
Slimes spawn in the Overworld in specific “slime chunks” below layer 40, regardless of light levels. They can also spawn in swamp biomes between layers 50 and 70 in light levels of 7 or less.
How can you tell if a chunk is a slime chunk F3?
The most efficient way to find a slime chunk is to go underground below Y-40 and create tunnels big enough to spawn small and medium slimes. A trick that you can do is to click the key combination f3+Q followed by f3+G. This will show chunk boundaries.
Why are slimes not spawning?
Slimes are shy – they won’t spawn if other mobs are nearby. Assuming your area is in the correct zone (inside a Slime spawn chunk and within ~40 blocks from bedrock), you also need to check the ravine nearby and light it with torches to keep other mobs from spawning nearby and stopping the Slimes from spawning.
What y level do slimes spawn?
Slimes spawn in random underground chunks below Y=39 at any light level, and can also spawn in Swamp Biomes at night depending on the phase of the Moon. They spawn more frequently during a full Moon, and never spawn during a new Moon.
