Better Sponges

Better Sponges is a mod that improves sponges in Minecraft with some much needed changes!

What's been added?

• Damp Sponge (A stage in-between Wet Sponge and Sponge)
• Potion Infused Sponge (Gives The Player an effect when in contact)
• Lava Sponge (Can be used to absorb Lava instead of Water)
• Burnt Sponge (The result from absorbing Lava with the Lava Sponge - can be used as a furnace fuel)

What's been changed?

• Wet Sponges will dry over time turning into Damp Sponges and then Sponges when in sunlight or within range of a heat source such as Lava
• Sponges will turn into Damp Sponges and then into Wet Sponges if left out when it is raining
• Wet Sponges in The Nether will turn into Lava Sponges instead of turning into Sponges

 

• Shears can be used in a Dispenser on Sponges, Wet Sponges, Damp Sponges, Potion Sponges, Lava Sponges and Burnt Sponges to pick them up
• Using a Glass Bottle in a Dispenser on a Potion Sponge will give the Potion and revert the Sponge back to normal
• Placing a Sponge, Damp Sponge, Wet Sponge or Lava Sponge in a Dispenser will place down the sponge

 

• Throwing a Water Bottle on a Sponge will turn it into a Damp sponge and then into a Wet sponge
• Throwing a Potion on a Sponge will turn it into a Potion Sponge

 

• Guardians that are struck by lightning will be turned into Elder Guardians
• Guardians that are killed by an Axolotl that is helping The Player will have a 3% chance to give a Sponge drop which is increased by the Looting Enchantment

 

• Right-clicking a Wet Sponge with a Glass Bottle will turn it into a Damp Sponge and give The Player a Water Bottle
• Right-clicking a Damp Sponge with a Glass Bottle will turn it into a Sponge and give The Player a Water Bottle
• Right-clicking a Potion Infused Sponge with a Glass Bottle will turn it into a Sponge and give the Player the respected potion

FAQ:

1. Can I include Better Sponges in my mod-pack?

Yes, of course. And if you do, I would love if you let me know!

 

2. If I have an issue/bug/crash, where can I report it?

If you find any bugs, please submit them to the GitHub Issues Page.

 

3. Can you please port this to FooBar mod-loader?

I do not currently have any plans to port this mod to another loader.

 

4. Can you please backport to version x.y.z?

No I will not be backporting. Backporting is a pain to deal with and having many versions of a mod is both confusing to the end-user and is hard to maintain. I will only be releasing for the latest versions.

 

5. When will you update to version x.y.z (latest)?
If I have not yet updated to the latest version that is because I am busy with work or education, so please be patient.
