I'm here to suggest slime block, a slippery solution to slides. Slime block is crafted like this:
Slime for the slippery effect, wood to support the shape. Place it down, run towards it, slide on it. Simple. It is THREE TIMES as slippery as ice. Oh, but that's not the best part. This is:
SLIME SLABS:
And SLIME STAIRS:
Each recipe shown so far produces THREE of its respective slime product. With slime slabs, stairs and blocks all at your command, you can create SLIDES! BOWLING ALLEYS! GREEN STUFF! MORE SLIDES! Each block looks like a translucent, green coating over its wood counterpart. Now, you may be thinking, I DON'T WANT MY SLIDE GREEN! Well, that's where DYE comes in! That's right, DYE! You dye a slimeball like this:
Replacing bonemeal with any dye. Then, when you make slime blocks/slabs/stairs with these slimeballs, the coating over the wood will be THAT COLOR! Not only that, but when you create sticky pistons with colored slimeballs, THE SLIME ON THE PISTON WILL BE THAT COLOR! Also, I'm wondering about the possiblity of a slime BIOME, but that's a whole different post.

Generation 25: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. Social experiment.
Interesting. I see why this is so different and not redundant, because it's fundamentally a different concept than most, which is sticking blocks, trampoline, etc.

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain.

No. Contrary to popular belief, slime isn't bouncy.
Yours is an entity adhesive, mine is an entity lubricant. Combining them would make no sense, they're opposites.
You have a point. Anyways, I support this fully.
However(this seems to be a constant), Pencil has a good point. Perhaps it should be oil or some such thing. Something slippery, since slime is fairly sticky.
I was getting pretty darn close to suggesting Slime Craft as a mod idea, but then it seems someone had the same cool idea at the same time. The only difference is that I was thinking of a Slime Block sort of like renewable Cobweb, but this would make much more amusing mob traps and theme parks. I approve.

If regular is Vanilla then what flavor is your Minecraft?
And you find these samples of slime from living cubed blobs in real life, correct?
Ever know about a quaint little life-form called a "Slime Mold?" They are some of Earth's most ancient and bizarre forms of life. They just slide along and very slowly eat all organic material in their way.

Minecraft slimes don't bounce. They just hop, because they have no limbs.
My scientific analysis shows slimes are capable of bouncing but just don't feel like it.
In all seriousness: you denouncing bouncy slime because of that is silly. Minecraft does not act according to physics and what you'd reason in real life; I could pull up the infamous floating blocks reference for example. I honestly don't care either way, but still.

I would love it if you checked out my "about me" page on my profile and looked at my threads I'm always happy to see new posters.
this would be good you could throw items on it the slide based on how fast the hit it?
like how water/ice item moving systems but without the water or ice.
Support, and if this is added, I'm dying my slime blue and building a replica of Dorney Park's Wild Water Kingdom.

And by the way, mine was here first. I didn't steal your ideas in any way.
You should too! Find it here; http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1648718-slime-blocksnew-method-of-trapping-mobs/

Okay, you want these slime blocks to make you move faster, how does a sticky piston pull blocks back?
