Okay, say a spider's chasing you at night time, and you're comming up to a sheer cliff. But you're on 1/2 heart, and it's too risky to go around the spider, expecially since you just got back from collecting 10 diamonds from a great mine far from your spawn point (just to give an idea of the tension), and you don't have any sword. what will you do?! But then you remembered you have a slime ball! It could be thrown like a snowball, but that wouldn't save you. The remarkable thing is when it hits a target, it covers them in green slime, temporaraly cutting thier speed down to 1/3 for 10 seconds. So you throw it, and it's a hit! You ran past the spider and you made it back to your house. Woohoo! wait, you have tons several slimeballs, actually. Luckilly, you can take 9 and stack them together to craft "slime". You can then drag it to a bucket and place it. What it does is it behaves like water, but it creates a thinner layer. So what's the point? It makes the area it covers slippery, as if handling on ice which effects players as well as mobs. You can make waterfalls of it comming down from walls to prevent spiders from climbing. or, you can cook the "slime" to create a slime block, semi-transparent, green and bouncy. Why so many uses? Because slimes are so very rare.
I'm not sure if should work exactly like this, but I do like the idea of slime somehow being incorporated into a physics-altering mechanic. (Slime waterslide anyone?)
Making slimeballs act similar to snowballs but slowing is probably one of the better uses for them. Very situational.
10 seconds sounds reasonable for a mob, but will this work on players? If so, how long?
I'm not as keen with the idea of making slime waterfalls/slides/etc. I can see where it'd prevent spiders from climbing up, but what about everything else? How would you be able to climb up a slime waterfall if a spider can't? Would it have physics similar to water (in that you'll lose oxygen over time and eventually drown)?
Bouncy slime block, will agree if you can change the color on it. Besides that I can see a few good uses for it, primarily as cushions when you jump off a cliff.
