Main Features

Regular Sponge

A new block type that absorbs water in an extended radius. The more sponges are connected together, the larger the absorption area.

Lava Sponge

A special variation designed for lava handling. Functionality is similar to regular sponge but for lava flows.

Wet Sponge

Appears after a regular sponge absorbs water. Can be restored by drying in the Nether or smelting in a furnace.

Wet Lava Sponge

Generated when absorbing lava. Can be dried in the End and used as furnace fuel. One such sponge can smelt 128 items before returning to dry state.

Important: Load wet lava sponges one at a time to receive dry versions back.
