Four honey bottles

Put a campfire under a bee nest or a beehive so the bees stay calm. Use four glass bottles on the dripping honey. Keep those four full bottles.

A 2×2 of bottles

Open the inventory 2×2 or the Crafting Table. Put a honey bottle in all four squares of a 2×2. One honey block appears on the right; take it. The four empty bottles land back in your inventory.

Sticky, not bouncy

Walk on it and you slow down. Jump and you barely leave the block. A piston can push it, same as a slime block, but this one does not bounce you. Place it with a click; no tool is required to break it.
