I have been looking for slimes in my LP game and realized that I have only found 1. So I went online to find slime chunks (via http://chunkbase.com/apps/slime-finder) and then proceeded to find 2 slime chunks and then cleared out entire chunk between y = 34 and y = 40+ (ceiling varies in height) after about 7 days (IRL) I checked and found no slimes. The chunks are just below my base where I spend nearly all my time and only about 32-80 blocks beneath me depending on my whereabouts.
The rooms are lit in the floor, one chunk with jack-o-lanterns, the other with glowstone.
I have also found a swamp biome and killed all mobs on the surface during all moon phases (except new moon) and never seen a single slime.
My seed is : 1174088847753350200
worldtype : default,
structures on
gamemode : survival
difficulty : hard (non-hardcore)
Swamp at around -209 64 238 biome : swampland
Slime chunks at 192 35 208 -> 207 35 223 (Chunk 12/13) biome: plains
and at 144 12 176 -> 159 12 191 (Chunk 9/11) biome : beach
I haven't found any other swamps to compare against.
This world was started I believe in 14w02a (the new andesite blocks were already generated in my world)
In the nether I have had no difficulty finding magma cubes, they spawn everywhere it seems.

I understand that the site may not be a valid way to find slime chunks, I did also try amidst and got the same chunks but same problem. But what about the swamp? I also gave world gen information and seed so this could be verified independently of that website.
Could be caused by MC-55260
Perhaps, I was out killing mobs in the swamp for several MC nights and never saw a slime out the corner of my eye, but it was dark so perhaps. I did verify by hand (manually checked against the publicly available formula for finding slime chunks and both chunks I list produced a 0 for the random output, which means they are in fact slime chunks)
Prior to 14w20 I did see slimes in my world but never worried about it. Since I updated to 14w20+ (it may have been sooner as I update as the snapshots come out) I haven't seen a single slime even in the caves where I'd seen them before (I marked them for later use as having slimes spawning)
I will revert my world to a prior snapshot and then check results again.
Ok, I revert back to 14w11b and both slime chunks produced slimes within seconds and after killing some mobs in the swamp slimes were spawning. Can this be marked as not being invalid bug and if nothing else marked as a duplicate if in fact they are spawning but just despawning. I will go thru each of the snapshots to find the exact snapshot where this became an issue later on today.
That means that those chunks are most likely no slime chunks.
There is no evidence that the page you used is working correctly, as long as you can't proove otherwise, this Issue is invalid.
