Slimeball

Slimeballs are a crafting ingredient that slimes commonly drop, and pandas can also sneeze them out. Baby pandas have a small chance of dropping a Slimeball each time they sneeze (1⁄700 in Java Edition). Wandering traders sometimes offer to sell a Slimeball for 4 emeralds.

Slimeballs are primarily used to craft magma cream, slime blocks, and sticky pistons. They can also be fed to frogs to breed them, and to tadpoles to shorten how long they still need to grow up. Both frogs and tadpoles follow a player holding a Slimeball.
