SpongeReloaded
SpongeReloaded
Take the sponge from Alpha/Indev to present!
This plugin makes the sponge work as in the 'good old days'.
With this plugin, you can build amazing underwater structures without ever having problems with water - no matter what problems you have:
- The plugin prevents water to break through holes in your building
- You can easily remove water that is already inside your house.
- After building, simply remove the sponges and you will see the water flowing automagically!
- Please remember that this plugin will NOT alter the world generation. Instead, you can craft sponges.
I know, this function is also integrated in WorldGuard, but if you use that and remove a sponge from the world, the water will be stuck in place until a block beneath changes. So, with this plugin, I try to purge this lack of functionality and present you a fully-functional sponge that lets water flow!
Configuration / Crafting
See Configuration for details.
Future
My (and your) plans with this plugin:
- make the range configurable -> since v1.1
- make pistons work without spamming and killing the server -> since v1.2
- suck lava / fire (configurable) -> since v1.3
- add multiworld support -> since v1.3
- create a crafting recipe -> since v1.4
- refill water / lava when a sponge is removed (configurable)
- make sponges don't soak through walls

There used to be a similar plugin by the name of SpongeRestore. I think it would be good to have a configuration file so we can change certain parts. I also would suggest that the sponges can replace the water when destroyed. This would be to prevent people from making holes in the ocean. Also, in SpongeRestore sponges do not update when it gets pushed by a piston/sticky piston. Will a fix be possible? And would it be possible to add a recipe to get the sponges? Thanks. Other than that I see great potential in this plugin.
