If you have a large underground cavern near bedrock, you'll have a hard time *not* seeing them.
Wow thats crazy because I have definately spent ALOT of time underground, in fact over 8 hours in the last week alone (trying to accomplish 1 km achievement-which I just did a minute ago:)). Hmmmmm I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Have a lot of light on the surface? I'm not sure if slimes count as passive mobs in regards to the mob limit, but that could be affecting it. Sheep on the surface instead of slimes in your tunnels.

yeah as far as I know they are passive. Apparently they show up even on peaceful.
Too many slimes . . . they really need to make em' spawn less, I have too many slime balls I really wish they would have a use by now.

yes, in my huge hollowed out staircase mine all the way to bedrock, i found this slime right at the bottom, killed him accidentally though :sad.gif: did not realise he was 1 hit :sad.gif:
I filmed it cos i was so excited but i accidentally hit him..
youtube clip is here..
Goddamn slimes. I'm OCD enough to not want *anything* spawning in my brightly lit stone surfaced rooms...and yet they're *there*. The rooms are brightly lit for a reason! Ugh.
Walking into the room expecting nothing but safety and you have a gigantic slime pushing its guts in your face and ruining your shiny new armor in the process.
And no, I do not want to build higher than rock bottom because that room is for the receiving end of a gravity mob tower from the skybox to adminium.
They spawn regularly in the caves under my base. They need to be near lava, and I think water too. Freeze some lava pools and build an infinite water source nearby for your mining convenience, and you will probably see them down there the next time you come back.
I have NEVER witnessed slimes. I have played on all difficulties and spent time doing a lil of everything. In the mines, and above ground.
How many people have found slimes in their own maps?

You need to go deeper. Or make your tunnels wider/taller.

haha nice video:)
now that is something I could try to do. My tunnels are typically 2x2. lately even sometimes 1x2.
4x4 seems to be minimal for frequent slime generation. I don't think even the smallest ones will spawn in 1x2, and they'll be extremely rare in 2x2.
INSLIMETION!

Love to smack them into lava though.. so gratifying.
If someone says ____ speaks to them; they're insane.
Get the picture?

At least the 1.4 patch made them kill-able in SMP.
