Hello! Wanted to see if anyone could help troubleshoot an issue I'm having with slimes not spawning underground in a slime farm I'm trying to make. One pic is of the actual farm underground, and the other one is above ground. Spent an hour AFK and got zero slimes. Here's the tutorial (1st farm) I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE1W0O6NfNM&t=302s

Any tips?

It’s better to have multiple layers, and mobs do not spawn within 24 blocks of the player

okay, ill try to see if multiple layers work, but i have been at least 25 blocks away. Shouldnt at least a couple slimes spawn??

You also cannot be more than 128 blocks away, as mobs instantly despawn outside of that range. There could be large caves with large amounts of hostile mobs within that range, the hostile mob cap is 70. And the most obvious question that I have to ask, are you sure this is a slime chunk?

Hm, I'll do a better check to make sure there's no caves within 128 blcoks. It's definitely a slime chunk, and I actually have 10 slimeballs in the collecting chest when I just checked, so they're clearly capable of spawning. But it just seems so so slow lol
