My idea is probably not the first of its kind... But here we go.
I propose a new ability for simeballs that would make a lot of new contraptions possible.
You would be able to place slime balls like glue on any side of any block.
As a example imagine a castles retractable gate / portcullis made of fences.
This cannot be done as sticky pistons would simply pull the first row away.
However if they were to be attached with slime balls it would hold together as one allowing large things to be retractable aswell as extendable.

This is a good idea (though I think I have seen it before). It's also a way to get sand to float (as long as it's next to another block).

This is a great idea. I can already see all the different things you could create with this.

Good to see lots of support so far.
Keep in mind I'm not the first to think of this, It was just an idea I thought deserved a thread.

Support!, Very usefull for contraptions

Does anybody have anything they think they an expand on this with?

Placing it on the ground will cause any mob walking on it to move more slowly and it will be unable to jump. Placing it below a block and jumping up to it will cause you to stick for a period of time, or maybe until you release the jump button (obviously with you staying there as long as you're holding it)

That sounds great for mob traps and player traps.
Maybe since it will probably be a texture like thing on the block water and lava could pass into that block space and not destroy it because we don't have anything like that yet.
