Item details

How to obtain

  • Small slimes drop slimeballs; baby pandas have a rare chance to sneeze one out. Source
  • Wandering traders may sell a slimeball for emeralds; a slime block can also be unpacked into nine slimeballs. Source

Practical uses

  • Slimeballs are used in sticky pistons, leads, magma cream, and slime blocks. Source
