Slimeology

by lapisliozuli

Slimeology adds coloured slime blocks and balls that stick, bounce and launch like the vanilla slime block, plus new slime spawns in the world.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.1 – 1.17.1

What it does

Coloured Slimeballs can be crafted into Coloured Slime Blocks using the same nine-to-one recipe as the vanilla slime block. Nine balls of one type make a block of that colour, and nine mixed balls produce a Rainbow Slime block. A vanilla slime block can be washed by filling a cauldron with water and right-clicking it, which turns it into a Coloured Slime Block of its own colour.

Coloured Slime Blocks behave like the vanilla block for bouncing, sticking and launching entities, and they stick to other coloured blocks as well as Honey Blocks. A piston cannot move a coloured block that sticks to a different colour. The world gets extra slime: biome spawning is adjusted through the config, and slime chunks gain natural slimy interstitia on the surface. Slimeology needs Auto Config to be installed as well.

The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across six release versions 1.16.1 – 1.17.1, under the MIT License, and its source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Coloured slime blocks

    Nine coloured slimeballs craft a block of the same colour, following the vanilla slime block recipe.

  2. Rainbow slime

    Nine balls of mixed types craft a Rainbow Slime block, so colours can be combined in one build.

  3. Sticky colour rules

    Coloured blocks stick to other coloured blocks and to Honey Blocks, while pistons refuse to move a block stuck to a different colour.

  4. Washing vanilla slime

    Filling a cauldron with water and right-clicking a vanilla slime block converts it into a coloured one.

  5. Discovery slimes and biomes

    New slimes spawn in the world and biome spawning can be adjusted through the config file.

  6. Custom advancements

    Custom advancements guide the player through the new blocks and slimes step by step.

What the author says

NEWS: Waiting for Fabric Biomes API to update to 1.18 before I start updating. Unless I work on the next module of the mod to allow custom crafting of Coloured Slimeballs, but that is currently unlikely due to some personal issues.
