Minecraft – No slime spawning in slime chunk 2018 1.12.1

minecraft-java-edition

I found a slime chunk right inside my straight mine so I dug out a 16x16x3 chunk at level 19 and coordinates 71 19 -120. I have lit up the room light levels are above 10 everywhere and there are no other mobs spawning inside.

I have been waiting for about an hour afk with the game active at around 32 blocks away (coordinates are 90 11 -125) in order to get some slimes to spawn but still not even one.

  • Confirmed slime chunk with – http://chunkbase.com/apps/slime-finder#-1729309068124591226

  • The height level is below 40

  • Several nights have passed

  • Player position is around 32 blocks away from the center of the slime chunk (coordinates of center 7 19 7)

  • Playing on 1.12.1 without any mods
  • There isn't a huge stack of monsters around the slime chunk (there is a ravine right above it but its lit up)
  • I searched for questions like this but they were mostly either related to a different problem that I have already solved or from 2+ years ago.

What could be causing this issue?

The coordinates you give are only about 21 blocks apart. Assuming that you have given the center of your farm (71,19,-120) and the location you are standing (90,11,-1225) you may not be far enough away.
