Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Ooze: A New Fluid

(Where I posted originally)

Obtaining

An Ooze bucket would be crafted with 4 slime and 1 water bucket in this shape. (doesn't leave behind the bucket, as the end result is also a bucket).

You can also pick up Ooze with a bucket to get an ooze bucket (duh).

It may also exist in swamp biomes.

Behaviour

Its flowing physics would work like lava (so no infinite ooze generators) except slower. If you land on it forcefully, it'll bounce you up, but if you enter gently, you are just going to be slowed down.

To be more specific, if you enter with less than a threshold force, it will behave like a weaker cobweb, slowing you down as you move through it and also exerting a small 'flow' force of its own.
However, if you do impact it with that threshold force, it will behave as a weaker slime block, bouncing you back upward with ~0.6 the momentum you encountered it with and negating fall damage.
This is based off of shear-thickening non-Newtonian fluids such as "Oobleck", a mixture of cornstarch and water.

Uses

This would be useful for Nether freefall if it doesn't evaporate in the nether (if it does, then it would leave behind 4 slimeballs as items upon evaporation) and traveling down in/bouncing off of "ooze blades", downward-flowing ooze without a source block.

If you smelt it, you'll get your 4 slimeballs back (leaves behind the bucket).

It could also be used in crafting nitroglycerin (a block that works like the old TNT where you punch to ignite)
