The slime block is a green fluid block with some very interesting properties.
Slime blocks have a blast resistance of 6,000, equal to that of obsidian, but can be broken with your fists at the same speed as breaking dirt. Because of this, slime can be used to coat your house, instead of having to resort to obsidian, which can be a pain to use if you make mistakes.
You can pass through slime blocks, making them useful for climbing across walls, and even the ceiling. Although slime blocks are a fluid, they do not spread from the source. You move through slime at the same speed as moving through lava, but you don't take any damage, or lose any air.
They block the flow of water, and although they are flame resistant, they become destroyed if they touch lava. You can use them to make a membrane around a structure to prevent large amounts of water from drowning it.
You can place a trail of slime blocks along a path across the ocean floor so you can regain air (completely unrealistic, but rather useful). You can even wedge it into a sheet of ice to explore the waters below without having to worry about it freezing over, trapping you in the ice.
You can use it to fall hundreds of blocks without taking falling damage.
Dispite it being flame resistant, if you are on fire, slime blocks will not put it out.
Slime blocks will not prevent you from being hit by arrows, or other projectiles that manage to pass through it.
Mobs can also pass through slime blocks, albeit not as fast.
Wow, thanks for all the support. I just got the idea when thinking about the movie flubber. I don't have a Twitter account, so could somebody else post a link to this topic to them on Twitter or something?
