About

Slimeballs are obtained by killing slimes or breaking slime blocks. They stack to 64 and serve as a key ingredient in several redstone and building recipes: sticky pistons for contraptions, slime blocks for bounce mechanics, and magma cream when combined with blaze powder.

Admins typically give them out via /give @p minecraft:slime_ball 1 to players working on redstone projects or mob farms. Adjust the number before the closing parameter to award multiple balls at once.
