I will update this everyday.
Text tutorial:
- * Dig down to bedrock in either a stairway or just straight down.
* Now build 4 blocks up from bedrock.
* Now you can start to either mine or blow up an area for your slime farm.
* Once you've made your slime farm make sure to light it up good with torches or glowstone.
Helpful Tips:
I'd like to thank the user "Yankster" for giving me some of these tips.
- * Slime don't spawn on torches.
* Light up caves around your farm to increase the chances of slime spawning.
* Build the farm 3 blocks high.
* Slime spawn in certain areas.

What a slime is and does:
A slime is a hostile, animate, green, hopping, relatively mob in the shape of a cube that appear in various sizes.
When killed, a slime will split into smaller slimes, except for the smallest slime which will drop slimeballs instead.

F.A.Qs:
Q: Why isn't slime spawning in my slime farm?
A: Your slime farm isn't in an area where slime spawn.
Q: Why isn't the slime dropping any slime balls?
A: Try using just your hands to kill them.
Q: Why do mobs keep spawning in my farm?
A: There isn't enough lighting. Put glowstone or torches in any dark spots.
Q: What do I do if I run into lava?
A: Work your way around it. Lava attracts slime.
Q: What do I do if I run into a cave?
A: Put blocks around it and move on.
Q: Do I keep any water that I run into?
A: It's up to you. If you want water keep it. It doesnt effect anything in the farm.
Q: Does the difficulty have to be on easy in order to find slime?
A: No, however you'll have a greater chance of finding slime if your difficulty is on easy or higher.

I'm have 3 slimes farms in my world. I have some input.
1. Slimes can't spawn on torches
2. It only has to 3 high
3. You can make it 35 x 35 too but on the 5th Level
4. Make sure all caves near are lit so increasing the chance of them spawning
5. They have 1/10 of a chance spawning compared to othe mobs
Looks really good though. Take some consideration of adding these facts to your post.

50x50 is pretty big for just a slime chunk that's 16x16, don't you think?

50x50 is good and true because gives you more slimes and better chance to spawn slimes.

They only spawn on a 16x16 space, even if you built a 50x50 space they'd still only spawn on a 16x16 area inside of that.
You don't get anymore slimes.

Then why does my friends Slime Farm that is 50x50 get more Slime than those who have 20x20 or 35x35?

I know. I dont understand either. If there's more space and they spawn in a 16x16 area shouldnt more spawn in your farm of its bigger? :|
