I used the slime finder tool, found a slime chunk, dug a 16x16x4 room, put torches EVERYWHERE and it worked. I had 2 slimes, one full sized and one small sized. The small one didn't drop anything so I didn't think much of it. The huge one didn't break apart and dropped nothing, it just died. None have spawned since. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? Slimes worked properly before the update so I don't know. Is anyone else having this problem?

Give it some time. Sometimes a slime will drop an assload of slimeballs, and sometimes it won't. Killing big slimes when they should separate it normal, and can happen from time to time.

The decrease in spawning is also normal; just make more slime spawn rooms nearby your current one. The more you make, the more slimes you'll find withing a given amount of time.

If only slimes weren't this complicated considering how useful they are now.

Wasn't there an update to the PC where you could overkill slimes and get them to split and get slimeballs? If so, (Which I believe is) I would like to know which update it was on the PC.

I kill all of them will my Bow, the bow itself no arrows and I get almost 20 or more slime drops from a large slime, DON'T use a sword, DON'T DON'T DON'T USE A SWORD! I can't stress that enough.

Ironically enough, I went to expand my farm and there were 4 or 5 slimes. I dug it out on all sides and it works much better now. Punching them does seem much more effective.

don't use anything but the bow. hit them with the bow or shoot arrows at them. this is the best way
