About Slimes
by 4natural
About Slimes is a Fabric food mod that adds slime ball recipes, a gelatin ingredient and a Jell-o food for 1.20 – 1.20.4.
What it does
Slime balls are normally hard to obtain, and the main alternative is the Create mod. The author made this mod to give slime balls a steadier source, and it adds a recipe that produces them, along with more uses for them in crafting. Players who want an easier supply can rely on it without changing how other slime behavior works in the world.
Gelatin is added as a crafting ingredient, and it feeds into a Jell-o food that can be eaten like other items. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric only, across five game versions: 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4. The latest file is 1.0.2 for 1.20.4, released 2024-04-01. The code is not open source and the project is under All rights reserved. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and shows the new recipes in its recipe viewer.
Key features
Slime ball recipe
A crafting recipe produces slime balls, giving players a source that does not depend on other mods.
More uses for slime balls
Slime balls gain extra crafting uses, so the item has a purpose beyond the vanilla recipes.
Gelatin ingredient
Gelatin is a new crafting ingredient, and it is used to make the Jell-o food.
Jell-o food
Jell-o is an edible food item made from gelatin, added to the food category.

Use cases
Slime supply on a server
Server owners who want slime balls without relying on Create can install the mod on the server and on each client, since both sides need it.
Who it’s for: Players who want a crafting route to slime balls and a gelatin-based food, and server owners who run the same setup for every player on a Fabric server.
How it compares
No Slime XP is server-side only, MIT licensed and published for 26.1 – 26.1.1, so it changes experience from slimes rather than adding recipes. Craftable Slime for Fabric is server-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal and covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.2, so it offers a craftable slime item within an older version range. About Slimes requires both sides and targets the versions listed above.

What the author says
I made this mod because there isn't a solid way to get slime balls mainly for Create Mod.
