Slime Spawning Problems

I have no idea what is up:
I used the slime chunk finder website (http://mcslimes.appspot.com/) and found a cluster of slime spawning chunks. So I made a 16x32x4 room in two of the chunks. The thing is, I've been running this almost all day and I've only gotten two tiny slimes!
Is this normal?

On Thursday I made my first slime farm (17X6X17). I quickly got my first slime in about two hours, but he didn't drop any slimeballs. Yesterday I didn't get any more, decided to renovate it a little and made two 17X3/x17 floors, with different 'areas' in case they prefer lava and/or water. About two hours later, a slime spawned (or maybe went to, I can't say for sure) by the water and dropped two slimeballs. If I've learned anything so far from this, it's that I can be really patient if its for something I'm obsessed with.

1 every 10 min at most.... how long do you wait before it get boring waiting for them?[/quote]


Well its more like 1 every 5 mins but i just go to my next room and do renovations and when i come back there is like 3-5 of them [/quote]

Yeah that still doesn't make slimeballs a viable resource for a recipe... Heck I do believe I have found more diamond and lapus lazuli on Zars Awesome Server than I did slimes.... no slimes found yet. I forgot to ask what size slimes?[/quote]


soz forgot to check back on this thread , also i got massive slimes and mini slimes (that cant hurt), however the small slimes seem to give more slimeballs?

Yeah, in the earlier versions I had a few slimeballs until I found out they were useless (At that point). So I tossed them in my incinerator without a second thought. Now, of course, there is a need for those stupid things.

Yep, I have the same problem...tons of the valuable items, but when I actually need slimeballs, I can't get 'em.


I wonder if people destroyed or got rid of any slimeballs they found in earlier versions of the game....

Nah, I believe they are naturally hard to find... due to some mishap on the spawning algorithm for them or something.... I say check the wiki on minecraft.
