Solved Slime spawning bug - 1.4.2 R0.1

Hi,

I have been playing around with a dev build of Bukkit for 1.4.2 and while exploring the world spotted a slime in a desert biome at Y: 64

Slimes should be spawning deep underground.

Anyone else experienced this?

 

I had one spawn in a swamp, which I figured made sense and thought it was maybe a new feature... then I saw one spawn in the desert too. I can confirm this one!

 

As far as I am aware, this is an intended feature of the 1.4 update.
This 'bug' is a part of single player, as well.

 

Is it a new feature in Minecraft? Or a Bukkit bug?

 

Spawning in swamps is a new feature, spawning in deserts may be a bukkit bug.

 

In that case it must of wondered over from the swamp biome next to the desert.
Thanks.

This thread can be closed now.

 

It was a chunk that was generated within 10 minutes of me finding it... and it had to cross 2 jungle biomes and a big hills biome to get to the desert, if that's supposed to be the case :/

"thanks".
