Summary

Sponge Plus spurred from a Reddit post where someone was asking for Mojang to add sponge drying mechanics to the Magma Block. Many mods that improved on sponges appear to be abandoned projects so I decided to make Sponge Plus!

Features

  • Placing wet sponges around Magma Blocks or Campfires will cause them to convert to dry sponges after a few seconds. No more trips to the Nether to dry them or wasting fuel in a furnace.
  • Leaving dry sponges out in the rain will cause them to become wet and leaving wet sponges out in the sun for a bit will cause them to dry out.
  • More coming soon
