acreamcometrue Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 There appears to be an issue with slimes not spawning. I have cleared out large rooms in many chunks underground and found no slimes. I also have spoken to people who have done extensive digging and seen zero to very few slimes. Asking around about this issue, I found out that slime spawns in swamps also appear to be less common even on full moons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be crazy, but I thought I saw the moon cycle through multiple (perhaps all) phases each night. If so, this likely affects slime spawning in swamps, as there is never an entire night with a full moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acreamcometrue Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 That's interesting. I'm not sure about that one... thanks for the information. I'm mostly concerned about slime chunks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be a plugin, like ProperTime, but I have no idea, a tech admin would have to look into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCommaThe Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have also observed a lack of slimes in swamps during all phases of the moon. I can account that I found a slime in a particular swamp at the beginning of the rev. and then at no time after that over numerous nights.

totemo Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Looking at the Minecraft wiki page on spawning I see that a reduced view distance can have a dramatic effect on mob spawning. I've experimentally raised it back to 10, but if it ruins the tick rate, I will probably back it off again. EDIT: And the result: more entities related lag, no drastic improvement in slime that I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRandomnatrix Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 My advice: live in a swamp and always carry a looting sword with you, which is what I do currently for slimeballs. Failing that, you can always barter for some in the #trade channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
