This would simply be a wooden tube that shoots slimeballs. It doesn't do any damage, but it pushes mobs back about 10 blocks. It could be pretty useful if you're being chased by a group of creepers, or you want to push a mob into lava or something like that. Here's the recipe:

It would have the range of a bow. The slimeballs splatter on whatever it hits, and cannot be picked up. Please give feedback, good or bad.
I'd take a different approach on this - I like the idea of pushing back, but it does seem too far, and not very logical for a slimeball to do something like that.
Why not instead make it slow mob movement? It seems more like something a slimeball could accomplish.
And as to the snowball suggestion, it could be made to have the ability to shoot multiple projectiles, although this might require an addition to the player inventory UI if you're holding two different types of ammunition. Or it could just take whatever acceptable ammunition comes first in the inventory.

Maybe it could shoot the first projectile in the inventory, and it could only push back 5 blocks

5 blocks is still a big distance. The knockback we have now is fine, and we can kill mobs at a distance and use this knockback at the same time with the bow and arrow.
We don't need this when we have the bow and arrow.

That's quite a distance.
... Why not just be able to throw the slimeballs?
Having another projectile launcher like the bow is pretty cool, and it's not a gun :biggrin.gif:

I don't think you inhale something you blow out a pipe
