A slimeball is a crafting ingredient commonly dropped by slimes, and can be sneezed out by pandas.
In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 slimeball when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Slimeballs can be used to breed frogs and reduce the remaining growth duration of tadpoles by 10%. Both mobs also follow a player holding a slimeball.
Slimeballs can be fed to small sulfur cubes to speed up their growth, in which they become a large sulfur cube. While holding a slimeball, small sulfur cubes will be attracted towards the player.
