Configurable Sponges
Customize Sponge's/Wet-Sponge's range!
/gamerule configurable_sponges:sponges_range 30
Allow any liquid (Water, Lava, Powder-Snow) to be cleared via Sponges/Wet-Sponges.
/gamerule wetSpongeLava true
Extra
- Some water-logged blocks do not get un-waterlogged from sponges (ex. Rail); this may be subject to change.
- Having both Sponges and Wet-Sponges enabled for a flowing liquid may allow players to create many block-updates often.
