 Description   

Strange as it sounds, slimes spawn on the surface of my survival world. I created the world in 1.4, but I also created the world in windows 7 pre-updating to windows 8 and the bug seems to have appeared after the upgrade. Screenie attached, with debug screen turned on (for further debug information). Mods installed are optifine and I launch with magic launcher, but as I started using those after the bug appeared I don't believe they are related.

Alright, well thanks for the information.

(It didn't show up in the 1.4.2 notes, which is what I found annoying - it's a pretty major change)

It was changed in 12w40a on October 4, 2012 at seen on the minecraft wiki. I dont know what list u use, but its there.

The slimes spawn only at low light level therefore not during the day. Yes, it makes slimes less rare and i think that is intended.

Also I don't see this in the 1.4 release notes...(I trust the community in that it's a feature but I wish it was listed).

Comment by Kyle Fahringer [ 02/Nov/12 ]

Oh, I was not aware of this. Nevertheless it's annoying >.>

Why would slimes spawn on the surface? It undermines the rarity.

Yes, it is only in a spawn biome. Therefore it stops being a bug and starts being basically a bit of a complaint...

The attachment is very helpfull in showing its near/in a swamp biome. Never the less, good question!

Where do these slimes spawn for you? If it is in swamp biome only, then this works as intended.

Comment by Robin Bastiaan [ 02/Nov/12 ]

This is intended! In swamp biomes slime can now randomly spawn. (added in 1.4 I believe)

Comment by Vít Petričák [ 02/Nov/12 ]

This is not a bug, it's a newly added feature in 1.4. Slimes will spawn in swamps at night.

Comment by Zen Gold [ 02/Nov/12 ]

This is a feature that was recently added.
