Slime Block
Bouncy transparent block crafted from nine slimeballs that launches entities upward, sticks to adjacent blocks when pushed by pistons, and powers flying machines.

Description
Slime Block is crafted from nine slimeballs in a 3×3 pattern. When an entity falls onto it, it bounces upward to roughly 60% of the original drop height. Holding jump while landing increases the bounce to nearly full height, allowing repeated jumps. Sneaking cancels the bounce entirely.
Slime blocks pull adjacent blocks when moved by a sticky piston, up to the piston's 12-block chain limit. This mechanic is the foundation of flying machines and most complex redstone contraptions in both Java and Bedrock. Honey blocks share the sticking behavior but are incompatible with slime blocks — the two do not stick to each other — enabling advanced split-machine designs where different sections travel independently.
Slimeballs are obtained from Slimes — hostile mobs that spawn in slime chunks and swamp biomes — and from baby pandas sneezing. Slime blocks are also useful as a landing pad under high builds during construction.
