What if instead of growing overtime, sulfur cubes (and other slimes by extention) grew by consuming large amounts of rotten flesh. This would function in a similar way to composting levels, with each rotten flesh consumed having a percentage chance to increase the slime's level of fullness.
This would add the idea that slimes serve as one of the main decomposers in the world of minecraft, explaining why their range is so varied. They dont have mini-biomes, as they have spots where enough rotten biomass as accumulated for colonies to form (giving a in-world explanation for slime clunks).
This could even bring new strategies, such as using zombie farms to boost the efficiency of slime and magma cube farms.

Would make for a great mod. Idk about it being a vanilla feature.
