In Vanilla, the strongholds are closed in, small roomed structures. But in Dungeons, the Stronghold level is a giant underground, extremely open area, with plants and everything.

Why is there such a difference, and is the one in Vanilla canon?

Has nobody else noticed that slime variants spawn in the presence of liquids?

There’s gotta be a connection between slimes and liquid. I watched Xatrix’s and Profesor Illager’s videos, but there was no connection between slimes and liquid in either of them. Both made some good points, but it was all about the composition of the slimes, not their origin.

So here’s my slime origin theory. Somehow, the liquids in the Minecraft universe are able to condense into living blobs. 

Slimes spawn in swamps and caves. Caves are damp; swamps are wet and marshy. The slimy water and caves somehow produce living slimes. Makes total sense.

Magma cubes spawn in basalt deltas, which are full of small lava pools. Magma blocks also have lava inside them, and magma cream is able to be crafted into magma blocks, which would imply that magma cubes have lava inside them. Lava is a liquid. They also have an outer rock shell that splits apart when they jump.

Sulphur cubes spawn in sulphur caves, which have little sulphur pools. 

The weird Conjured slimes are created by a living cauldron full of some kind of liquid. 

The Tropical slimes are literally made of water, with fish swimming inside of them.

So it makes total sense that slimes come from slimy water, tropical slimes come from clean water, magma cubes come from lava, sulfur cubes come from sulfurous water, and conjured slimes come from whatever Void liquid is in the cauldron.

But I have no idea how they're alive.
