Slugs & Snails

Slugs & Snails may not be the biggest addition, but they would be a nice animal to have around. Snails could drop their shell and slime. Slugs could just drop slime, and I'm not talking about slime balls- I mean just plain slime. It would also be cool if they left a trail of slime behind them that you could pick up with your hands and craft into slime balls, or, if you have 9 pieces and you fill the crafting table with it you will get goo and if you throw goo on the ground any animal or player that steps in it will get stuck. And about the shell. There should be a variation of shells depending on the snail, (I'm hoping for the Malaysian Trumpet snail) they should be place able and you should be able to make a variety of shell crowns, necklaces, bracelets etc. And a few types of sea snails should drop purple die. I think it would be a cool addition to the game, so please consider voting for the Slugs & Snails.

    They could be a nice way to farm slime balls since slimes arent really farmable.

    I suggest adding a snail. This mob would appear during rain. would have a size of 3 × 3 × 6 pixels would resemble brown slime. He would be free, but he could move on the ground, wall and ceiling. He would have died from the water in the ocean biome and had 2 hearts. There would be a 5% chance of him dropping the slime ball.

    I think when it rains the snails should start climbing up walls (such as village houses). also I think if you step on them they should die an leave a splat that slowly disappears over time. maybe there could be a way to pick snails and slugs up so they would be in your inventory an you could cook and then eat them (snails only) or you could use slugs and snails to breed chickens or to tame parrots.

    Having different colored shells on them would be cute and having a rare one like with the axolotls might be cool too^^
