Hey guys, i've been trying to make a Slime Farm for my SSP world, so i used the Chunkbase.com app to find slime chunks, but no slimes spawn on any of the chunks i've tried. I've triend on 3 of them, verified that it is the right chunk, made a 16x16x4 room for them to spawn, lit the place well enough with glowstone, waited for half an hour 30 blocks away from the place but nothing will spawn there...
any idea of what's going on? They do spawn on flat world in creative, but none are spawning in SSP... i even have a copy of my world in creative mode to test faster, but still no spawns...
I actually found out that (i don't know why) the app gave me wrong info. I used my seed to find the chunks, i didn't use my level.dat file. Why? well, because whenever i tried to upload the file, it gave me an error, so i figured i could use the seed instead and it'd all be fine, but it wasn't.
I've come to think that i wasn't able to upload the file because i was using forge+liteloader with Voxelmap. Once i opened the same map in vanilla mode, i tried to upload the level.dat file again and it worked, so it gave me the right chunks.
Also, i think that the fact that i customized my map so there would be no ravines (They are more of a nuissance to me) had something to do with the app giving me wrong info.
Still, it's all solved now. Chose a good chunk, used Jack o'lanterns instead of glowstone, made a waiting room blocks away from the place and everything works fine now. I'm getting some slimes spawning there. I might have to reposition the waiting room, but at least i got the slime balls i needed. I also started to light up quite a bit of caves nearby as much as i could. The farm is at Y=20, by the way.
Thanks a lot, guys.

Any solution?
Make sure that the glowstone is not placed on the floor - they won't spawn that way because glowstone is a transparent block.
