How can I keep mobs from being too close together with /spreadplayers and /execute?
I want to summon multiple Slimes, then make sure that they are never in the same block. (If it's not possible to keep them from being in the same block, having them be at least 1 block from each other would work too.)
To do this I tried nesting execute commands like this:
execute @e[type=Slime,name=explore1] ~ ~ ~ execute @e[type=Slime,name=explore1,r=0,c=1] ~ ~ ~ spreadplayers ~.5 ~.5 0 1 false @e[type=Slime,name=explore1,r=1,c=1]
But that didn't work. I also tried
execute @e[type=Slime,name=explore1] ~ ~ ~ spreadplayers ~.5 ~.5 0 1 false @e[type=Slime,name=explore1,c=1,r=0]
I figured the r=0 tag might be off but I also tried with r=1 and it still didn't work.
The first command groups all the Slimes together and randomly teleports them, and the second command just does nothing.
Any ideas on how to do this?

The following command should work:
execute @e[type=Slime,name=explore1] ~ ~ ~ spreadplayers ~ ~ 2 3 false @e[type=Slime,rm=0,r=1,name=explore1]
All slimes will try to spread nearby (r=1) slimes that aren't themselves (rm=0) a maximum of 3 blocks around them.

How far do command blocks go?
Commands can be entered in the top text pane. The text limit for commands in a command block is 32,500 characters, but the text pane can show only a small portion of this amount at a time.How do you spread entities in Minecraft?
You can use the /spreadplayers command to teleport all targeted players to random locations in a specified region.Spreadplayers command on Mobs!
