To clarify, since the source for spawning Blue Slimes and King Slime is the same (just with lower probability for the latter), is your request for King Slime specifically, or Blue Slimes in general?

@wlhlm i have no idea. just it is an entity that is a giant blue slime that has a boss healthbar that says king slime

[bluhbipo]

@wlhlm after more investigating it appears the regular blue slimes also spawn with doMobSpawning on false. valvE, please fix

"doMobSpawning only affects "natural" spawning - mobs which randomly spawn given the right conditions, such as dark areas for hostile mobs and well-lighted grassy areas for passive mobs."
Since blue liquid just spawns blue slimes like spawner, no wonder it wouldn't work. It would only be solved if playing on peaceful.

That is also a followup concern I had. The check is easy to add, but I've noticed it's only used in a few places in MC itself, though I haven't checked how or even if other mods obey that game rule.

im sorry that no mobs and hard difficulty is required to play the game :(

Okay, if it's required, then don't go near slime islands/slime liquid? Since it doesn't work on spawners too.
(example pic)

Some people play on peaceful just fine, or with spawns enabled, but avoiding the liquid slime/having minimal interactions (for quest completion) shouldn't be impossible?
Otherwise doesn't seem like a bug, just how the rule is intended to work by default and that tinkers spawns slimes like a spawner would, and honestly can be avoided like spawners all the same (which is harder if going to planets into dungeons for rocket blueprints).
The inner workings of slime spawning from TiC itself could get tweaked so it follows the gamerule (or gamerule adjusted, idk what is easier/better), but it could affect their spawn rate in return (since hostile mobs can't spawn in 24 blocks radius of a player, which blue slimes ignore).

So what exactly is there to fix, that mobs can still exist even with "doMobSpawning false", or that liquid slime is not a spawner, so it shouldn't bypass the gamerule?

this would work if it wasnt for the fact that he just spawns in random places

Now this is very interesting and more strange than just "king slime spawns with the gamerule on false" without any other context, but would need some kind of screenshots/world file to check, since i myself never even knew there was a king slime in tinkers, not even mentioning it spawning in random places with not liquid slime in sight.
Side note, could it be somehow related to normal slimes not spawning and getting swapped with king slime for odd reasons...?
Unless someone else had the same problem already and knows how to get it.
