Slimes only spawn in caves and don't spawn above ground unless you are on super flat mode.

We're closing all issues only related to 0.6, 0.7 or snapshots of any version.

If you think that this issues applies to MCPE 0.9.5 or later, please comment here!

Do slimes spawn naturally in survival in 0.12? If so, where?

I didn't saw any slime or bat in 0.12.1 beta

Slimes and magma cubes aren't spawning properly in my world, I've opened a huge area at one block above bedrock and haven't seen any slimes yet.
Also, I've only seen one magma cube in a nether fortress. I'm playing on maximum difficulty on Win 10 edition , 0.12.1

@unknown, the reason why they don't spawn in flat worlds is that they can only spawn in swamp biomes. Unlike the PC version, MCPE doesn't have the concept of slime chunks. It's an intentional difference.

@unknown There are definitely slime chunks in MCPE, slime farms set below level 40 work fairly well in the slime chunks.

I think the issue is that in Flat worlds, the Slimes should be spawning much more readily than they do, as the whole world is set just a few blocks above bedrock. Slimes should be spawning in the relevant chunks, and should be easily spotted as they aren't hidden in caves.

One way to find slime chunks in a flat world is to exploit the bug MCPE-8560: By placing lots of slime spawners across a large area spanning several chunks, the slimes should only spawn in the slime chunks. Once the slime chunks have been discovered, they should spawn there without a slime spawner in place. (Hope that makes sense!)

Example:

The slimes spawn here from the slime spawner when it is dark enough, so evidently it's a slime chunk*. However, when you remove the slime spawner, no slimes will spawn naturally, regardless of light level, or moon phase.

*I don't think it's a swamp biome as a) the water is not coloured when placed and b) I don't think the flat worlds have biome differentiation.

Slimes spawning correctly in a slime chunk in 0.15.1 :

Sorry but how can I find a slime chunk in mcpe?
