It's gonna be hard to find bones and stuff, Slimeballs are not the most useful item in the game and slime are annoying, I live in a tree and when i look out over the forest i see lots of max size slime.
Problem with slimes? you should count yourself lucky not many people can find them
I'm tempted to say that the new changes to slime spawns are too much of a good thing. I had found two places where slimes spawned, and they appeared fairly infrequently. This essentially slowed down my use of slime balls, making them rare, and valuable (But not as rare and valuable as gunpowder. I really wish there was a way to craft them to make large-scale mining easier). Now, one trip to just one of those areas will yield me about 80 slime balls, and around 200 XP.
I have a couple slime farms very close to my main mine entrance from my pre 4 SP save. I have a second one just a couple chunks away - both found my accident while mining and suddenly slimes were there haha. NOW when I go down there in pre 5 it's rare if there is NOT at least one slime present and usually more. This makes for super, super easy xp getting and slime ball finding especially since you can just kill them swords now and don't have to punch them with your fists to get them to split apart.
So... I mean I'm glad they are a bit more common but it feels like they are TOO common now to me. Part of the fun of slimes was trying to find them and now they are everywhere. I find myself hunting for skeletons for arrows so I can survive better in the nether as I still haven't found any chickens (I need feathers! Feathers are so rare now that zombies don't drop them :/).
I am also finding slimed everywhere in pre5. You can hear them from a fair way away and work out what direction they are in from the sounds.
The best thing is that they drip green slim through block if they are above it like lava and water does. I've found at least 4 of them with the help of this feature.
If you use mods try Rei's Minimap for slime chunk locations. Also since 1.9pre5 they spawn below layer 40 instead of 16, now! Slimes have never been much of a problem for me to find even without mods. Although mods have certainly helped. I liked to use What's My Light Level and Rei's Minimap together. Sadly there isn't a merged file yet for 1.9pre5.

Thanks for trying to help, But their in the overworld and my speakers won't work. And i spotted a strange UFO spawner in the sky(About 200 blocks high) that keeps dropping skeletons down and my escape route to my treehouse is not safe. (A bunch of creepers moved in.)
Just went up 10 levels solely from from clearing out my 1-chunk slime farm. Mojang really should seriously nerf their spawning, but I love those fappy little guys :biggrin.gif:
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
If, by some freak chance the usual nonsense I generate seems to help you, there's a nice shiny green + button to tell me that I'm doing the right thing
I finished my tunnel from my underground base to the surface, took me about an hour. When I go back, all I could hear was slapping.
1 big slime on my house.
2 medium slimes in my house
2 big, 1 medium and 4 small in the spawn room under my house
my 4 level spawner had 6 big, 10 medium and 3 small in the layers
my other 5 spawn rooms had enough slimes (stopped counting at this point) to net me 7 stacks of slime and a boost from level 7 to 12.
In the caves above all these spawners where even more slimes.
I've noticed when encountering slime their mostly big ones, This gets annoying cause big ones attack. I'm wondering if this is intended, Am i just having bad luck or are others having this problem as so? Also, I think slime should turn up in and around the entrance of caves.
I've been playing for a year and some change and I've never even seen a single slime.
what? you see slimes in the over world?
2. split
3. punch the medium size
4. there you got little
5. punch little ones for there slime
a mod i found

I have not seen a single creeper for five minecraft days! And i would like it for slime to stop climbing up ladders.
Just think happy thoughts.

I always use a shovel... lol.
Man, I have found more slimes since 1.94 than I ever have. I have like 80 slimeballs sitting in a box.

They. Are. No. Longer. RARE.

YES. This made my entire life.
