I support this. For a long time I have wanted a way to turn them back into normal blocks, and with the added cost of using a slime ball it would make you think whether it would be worth it or not. This would also add another use to the nearly useless slime ball.
I think that this would be a good addition to minecraft.
I definitely think that the slimeballs are needed to make the recipes balanced.
But...
What would stone slabs make? Would it be turned back into stone block?
Or... It could create blocks with the stone slab texture all the way around.
They already have the block in the game but it can be only obtained through /give.
I think it would be great to have the block as a vanilla obtainable block
I understand this in small amounts, but it's a little too expensive for a slime ball per block made. How about the slime ball is not used up, but you would need one to do this? Like buckets.
If you just put one slab above another, it would break the recipes for chiseled sandstone/quartz. The slimeball idea gives another use to said item (using it in leads is just an excuse to have it in another recipe...), keeps the chiseled recipes, and is pretty clever IMO. Something that nobody seems to have thought of yet, is that this still leaves open the option for crafting two stone slabs together like you would for chiseled sandstone/quartz, giving you "Concrete" or whatever they'd call it: the stone slab with the smooth top texture on all sides.
As for those who say to put a slab on top of another, what about if you have a ton of slabs that you don't have a use for, but need, for example, pillar quartz, any of the stairs, repeaters, or any other crafting recipe making use of slab-able materials that you're short of? If you have just slabs with no use for them, then in a world where dirt will stick to a wall, you should be able to at least put two halves of blocks back together.
S=Slimeball
A=Any slab
N=Nothing
N A N
N S N
N A N
Or maybe if you have an anvil
Slab + Slab = block
what you're really suggesting is glue

What if you needed the full block for a crafting recipe? You cant stick two on top of each other then.
Play minecraft.
