I've seen slimes occasionally recently, they're more rare than they were in the past though, I've only ever found them really deep in the earth (10 or so meters from bedrock)
From my understanding (what I read) they spawn in any difficulty (even peaceful), very very very far underground, usually near naturally formed water.

I forget the number, they only spawn like 10 blocks above bedrock or something, around the lava layer. They're extremely rare, i've never even seen one myself personally. The game just kinda flips through a list of stuff when it spawns mobs, slimes have an extremely low chance so you'd basically have to pitch a tent in the darkness near bedrock layer to have a decent chance of seeing one without getting dumb luck.
They do spawn on peaceful but thats a bug. They also spawn in variable size so you can get a micro one or a gigantic one.
EDIT: As i thought about it a bit, i'm not sure if slimes on peaceful are a bug or not, they kinda act like pigs except they move towards you, not super dangerous.
Says who?

Wait, so... They're here, but they never spawn? Someone please explain this.
It means they still spawn, and this person is as clueless as the OP.
But yeah, they still spawn.
In a certain mode, certain conditions, what?
