The Slime Block[1] is an upcoming, transparent block that resembles a Slime. If the player (or any other mob) jumps onto the block, they will bounce on it at a slightly lower height than their original jump. When they land back on the block, they will bounce at an even lower height than the previous bounce, and the cycle repeats until the player or mob is just standing on the block. The block will be introduced in the Minecraft 1.8 version for PC. Such blocks (transluscent blocks with two different transparencies) are now able to be implemented due to a new rendering system.[2] Slime blocks also cause players to move slower while walking on it. Their speed is comparable to Sneaking, and is slower than walking on Soul Sand. Walking on a Slime Block with cake, slabs or carpet over it will retain the slowing effect while preventing bouncing. Both players and mobs who fall onto this block will take no fall damage.

Usage
Dropped items move quite fast when in water that is flowing over Slime Blocks (although slower than they do over ice). This is particularly useful for transporting resources using water currents because items will keep sliding on Slime Blocks when they are dropped at an angle, even if water is not placed on top. Due to Slime Blocks not melting, unlike ice, Slime Blocks are a far safer and more efficient alternative.

Behavior
Slime Blocks will cause Players and Mobs to bounce at a height relative to the height at which the player/mob fell at. If the player is holding the jump key, they will perform a normal jump on contact with the Slime Block. The bounce height quickly deteriorates. A fall of 250 blocks only produces a bounce height of about 50 blocks, while a fall of 50 blocks is a bounce height of 19.5 blocks. Speed is also taken into account when the player hits the Slime Block. When a player hits "Terminal Velocity" in Minecraft, it means that the player can not travel any faster than he or she is already doing so. You can reach terminal velocity from a few hundred block drop. The maximum jump height is around 57.5 blocks. A fall from 6 blocks would rise a player up to 4 blocks height, while a fall from 3 blocks can rise a player up to 2 blocks height.
Placing Carpets, Rails, Trapdoors, Redstone Repeaters or Redstone Comparators on a Slime Block does not stop mobs from bouncing and not taking fall damage. Likewise, placing a Pressure Plate on a Slime Block does not stop mobs from bouncing, but the Pressure Plate will activate. Cake, Slabs, and other half blocks stop the bouncing effect.
Items, falling sand/gravel, minecarts and boats are not affected by Slime Blocks. Strangely, the item particles that appear when breaking an item are affected by Slime Blocks.
Slime Blocks are the only block that can be broken at speeds quicker than creative mode in survival without the aid of Haste II from a beacon.
Slime Blocks will also insulate explosions from TNT or Creepers when placed around those objects.

'''Sugar cane''' is a block found as 1–4-block-tall. It plants near water in the [[Overworld]]. As an item, it is an important crafting ingredient.
==Obtaining==
Sugar cane can be mined instantly with anything.
When the spot a sugar cane block is placed in becomes unsuitable, such as when the supporting block is removed, the sugar cane block uproots and drops as an item. {{IN|be}}, sugar cane uproots immediately after all adjacent water is removed. {{IN|je}}, sugar cane uproots on the next block update or [[Tick#Random tick|random tick]].
A sugar cane block drops itself as an item if a piston tries to push it (trying to pull it does nothing) or moves a block into its space.
===Natural generation===
[[File:Sugar Canez.png|thumb|250px|Naturally-occurring sugar cane near a river.]]
Sugar cane can generate naturally near [[water]] and [[ice]], as two ({{frac|11|18}} chance), three ({{frac|5|18}} chance), or four ({{frac|2|18}} chance) blocks tall. Rare taller sugar canes can be found if the world generator places two smaller canes on top of each other. It generates in approximately 0.8 sugar cane per chunk seeing as how they only generate near bodies of water.
Sugar canes attempt to generate 10 times in any Overworld biome, which requires water. An extra 10 attempts are made in [[swamp]] biomes, and 50 in [[desert]] biomes, which makes sugar cane twice as frequent in swamps and six times as frequent in desert biomes, making the banks of [[river]]s that cut through deserts lined with sugar canes.
Sugar cane cannot generate in caves {{in|je}}.<ref>{{bug|MC-214959||Sugar cane generated in cave|Fixed}}</ref>
===Trading===
[[Wandering trader]]s can sell sugar cane for an [[emerald]].
==Usage==
Due to its water-displacing properties, sugar cane can interestingly be used to create underwater paths, allowing [[player]]s to move at normal speed and breathe if it is two blocks in height.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-929||Sugar cane can be placed underwater|WAI}}</ref>
Sugar cane takes on a different shade of green depending on the biome in which it is placed.
===Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Farming===
{{main|Tutorials/Sugar cane farming}}
[[File:Underground Sugar Farm.png|200px|thumb|An underground sugar cane farm.]]
Sugar cane can generate naturally up to any number of blocks tall, but ''grow'' only to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top sugar cane block has received 16 random [[Tick#Block tick|block tick]]s (i.e. on average every 18 minutes on ''Java Edition''<!-- Average 68.27 seconds/tick * 16 ticks/growth = 18.2 minutes --> or 54 minutes on Bedrock Edition, but the actual rate can vary widely).
Sugar cane must be planted on a [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[sand]], [[red sand]], [[suspicious sand]], [[moss block]], or [[mud]] that is directly adjacent to [[water]], [[waterlogged]] block, or [[frosted ice]] (not merely above or diagonal to water), or on top of another sugar cane block. The adjacent water block can be covered with another block, whether [[opacity|opaque or transparent]], and sugar cane can still be placed and grow next to it. Sugar cane grows regardless of light level, even in complete darkness.
[[File:4blockcane.png|thumb|A natural 4-block-high sugar cane plant.]]
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[bone meal]] can be used to instantly grow sugar cane to three blocks. Only one bone meal is consumed. {{IN|java}}, bone meal cannot be used on sugar cane.<ref>{{bug|MC-73963||Can't use bonemeal on cacti or sugar cane|WAI}}</ref>
On average, it takes [[Tutorials/Sugar_cane_farming#Mechanics|18 minutes]] for a single block of sugar cane to grow 3 blocks tall.
=== Composting ===
Placing sugar cane into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Trivia ==
*When a sugar cane is broken at the second level, the time resets (for example, if a two-block high sugar cane is broken, but is just about to grow to the third stage, it would reset that time).
*By placing more sugar canes on top of a sugar cane plant, it is possible to create tall sugar canes (up to y=319, the maximum height for building), although they do not naturally grow this high.
*Before sugar cane received an official name, they were sometimes referred to as [[bamboo]], a block added 9 years later. Other names were "reeds" and "papyrus".

'''Glow berries''' are a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from cave vines and can be used to plant them.
'''Cave vines''' are a climbable, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] plant that hangs off ceilings and grows glow berries. Cave vines with glow berries produce [[light]] and drop glow berries when broken or harvested. Cave vines with no glow berries will not drop anything.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Cave vines can be found in [[lush caves]], hanging from cave ceilings.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|glow-berries}}
=== Post-generation ===
Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine by {{control|using}} or {{control|breaking}} the vine. This yields one glow berry when the vine is bearing them and nothing when it is not. A cave vine also breaks if [[water]] runs over its location or if a [[piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location.
{{IN|bedrock}}, using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] on cave vines always yields a glow berry, even if the vine appears empty.
[[Fortune]] has no effect on the number of glow berries dropped.
== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
Glow berries can be placed on and grown from the bottom of most blocks. They have no specific lighting requirements. When placed, they can be of any length.
=== Growth ===
Placing glow berries on the bottom of a block creates a cave vine that grows downward one block at a time as long as [[air]] is beneath it and its maximum height (2 to 26 blocks) has not been reached. Each newly-grown cave vine block has a 1 in 9 chance of bearing glow berries. Only this tip can ever naturally grow them.{{only|JE}}{{More info|exact growth rate and chance to bear glow berries}}
{{control|Using}} [[bone meal]] on a cave vine produces glow berries if the vine was not bearing any.
{{IN|Java}}, cave vines stop growing if [[shears]] are {{control|used}} on the tip.
{{IN|bedrock}}, if placing glow berries in the Nether, cave vines are able to grow and produces glow berries.
=== Food ===
To eat glow berries, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] points, like [[sweet berries]].
=== Light ===
When bearing glow berries, cave vines give off a [[light]] level of 14.
=== Composting ===
Placing glow berries into a [[composter]] by {{control|using}} them on it has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Breeding ===
Glow berries can be fed to [[fox]]es to [[breeding|breed]] them. Foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; a sudden movement by the player may cause the fox to flee even if the player holds glow berries. The resulting baby fox trusts the [[player]] and does not flee.
Glow berries can be {{control|used}} on baby foxes to reduce the time until they grow by 10%.

Trivia
- A Minecart leaving a rail onto a Slime Block will be able to continue on a rail on the opposite side, if it has sufficient momentum leaving the initial rail.
- Because Chickens tend to land softly, they rarely if ever will bounce on the block.
- Because it lets light pass through, a Slime Block doesn't deactivate a Beacon.
- Any entity landing on the sides of the block will not bounce. In order to bounce, you need to land in the middle.
- The texture of the inside block uses the 10x10 center of the 16x16 slime.png file.
- Slime blocks under Soul Sand will make you go as slow as ice under Soul Sand.
- Slime blocks will not allow spawning of mobs regardless of light level.
