Slightly new to minecraft but I wanted to build an easy Slim spawner. I used the below video to help. I found the chuck on my seed using Amdist. Dug down to Y: 14 as most information about slimes say they spawn below Y: 40. Dug out from 0-15 like the video said to do and build my golem in the middle of the room but no slimes seem to be spawning. I am stuck with what to do because I don't know why its not working!
If someone has any idea on why this doesn't work or could give me some tips on how to spawn slimes in an easy way that would be awesome.
I have also added a photo of my room. Using 1.12.2
Thanks for all your help in advance!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!! 09/11/2017
While I just AFK standing in my base Slimes Spawned!!!!
Turns out the video tutorial does work. Thanks to Slime Finder on chunkbase.com I found some really useful information that I hadn't found anywhere else. Below is some of useful information form chunkbase. As the text in blue says they wont spawn if your too close. Turns out I was standing next to it and watching and waiting... When I was AFK my friend went to the spawner and there were SLIMES!!!!
I wanted to give more information about this because when I was trying this I couldn't find it.
Also the 16x16 Chunk worked
No slimes are spawning in my slime chunk![/header]
First of all, even in slime chunks, slimes spawn far less frequently than most other hostiles, maybe comparable to endermen. So make sure you wait long enough. Also, double check the seed you used as well as the coordinates. Here are a few more things to consider:
In slime chunks, slimes only spawn on layer 39 and below (feet pos). The spawn rate is equal on those layers.
Mobs can't spawn closer than 24m to you (but despawn when farther away than 128m), so don't stand too close to where you expect them to spawn
It's a good idea to hollow out a 16x16 wide (= 1 chunk) and at least 3 blocks high room inside a slime chunk to maximize the spawn rate. Waiting in naturally generated caves and hallways will take much longer.
Use lighting to prevent other mobs from spawning (light has no effect on slime spawning in slime chunks). But don't use torches on the ground or glowstone, as these blocks will reduce the spawn rate. You can safely use Jack-O-Lanterns or Redstone Lamps + Redstone Blocks.
Sometimes,hostile mob spawning may be jammed by mobs that don't despawn automatically. If that happens, you should walk about 200m in any direction and then come back in order to force them to despawn.
I winced when I read this... not every chunk (16x16 area) is what is called a slime chunk. There’s a site called chunkbase that will map the slime chunks for you, but it doesn’t support bedrock edition last time I checked and I don’t know if it’ll be updated.

Thanks ConcaveChuff.
Below picture is from Slime Finder on this website http://chunkbase.com/apps/slime-finder
Where my mouse is on the green chuck is where I build my Spawner. The red dot is where my base is.
I'm not entirely sure if I have mapped it out correctly when building. Is there any tips you could give me?
I read that other mobs can effect the spawner? or does the light effect it?
Thanks
