Slimeball

The Slimeball is an item dropped by Slimes. There are no uses for it so far. Notch confirmed that they are going to be craftable in a later beta update.[citation needed]

0-2 slime balls will be dropped when a small slime is killed. Only small slimes will drop Slimeballs on death, and larger slimes will duplicate into smaller slimes unless a sword or any other tool is used.
