Slime Block

Slime Blocks are blocks that were added in Update 0.14.0. They are craftable blocks that allow Players and Mobs to bounce on them. Currently, they do not have much usage.

Crafting

 * 9 Slimeballs => 1 Slime Block
 * 1 Slime Block => 9 Slimeballs

Usage
Slime Blocks have many uses in Minecraft Pocket Edition:
 * They can be used to break falls as they prevent fall damage.
 * If the Player is sneaking, they will take fall damage instead.
 * They can be used by the players and mobs to bounce on.
 * When the Player sneaks, they will no longer bounce.
 * They can be used for item transport, since items in water will move faster if the block below it are slime blocks.
 * However, they will make the Players and Mobs move slower, similar with Soul Sand.
 * They can also be used in Redstone mechanisms to create self propelled contraptions. However, this will not be possible until pistons are added.

Trivia

 * Version Exclusive: In Minecraft PE, Slime Blocks have a chance to generate naturally in Swamps.
 * Slime Blocks are currently the only block a player can bounce on.
 * When Mobs or the Players are bouncing on Slime Blocks, they will produce slime particles.
 * A player will swim slower if the block beneath it is a Slime Block.
 * If a Carpet is placed on a Slime Block, The Player will still be able to bounce on it.
 * This can be useful in covering up slime blocks, giving them both functionality and visual appeal.
 * Slime Blocks are sometimes confused with the Slime mob due to their similar appearance.
