Rainbow slimes should instead drop rainbow gel which can be combined with stone to craft rainbow brick (they currently drop rainbow brick directly). It would also be used to craft the rainbow rod, and could perhaps be used to make rainbow dye, rainbow paint, or a new "rainbow arrow" that leaves a streaking rainbow trail when shot. Creates a rainbow clored flame and much higher DPS when used with the flamethrower (since this is a hardmode material). Also, when combined with bombs, it adds colorful firework-like particles to the explosion?
Ice slimes should instead drop ice gel which can be crafted into ice blocks (making it renewable in a way other than the white solution), or used to place icicles when used on the underside of an ice block? Edit: it has been pointed out to me that ice slime blocks would be crafted from just these now, and not the current regular gel and ice recipe. Same with frost arrows, which should use these instead of ice torches
Lava slimes should instead drop lava gel which can be used for... something? Provides a slightly darker flame and higher DPS when used with the flamethrower.
All of the other slimes only vary by color so the current system (where they drop different colored gels but they still stack anyways) works fine.
Edit: I suppose this would include a new color pallet of the slime blocks: light blue for ice, red for lava, and rainbow slime blocks too?
