Now before people start saying that sponges are just for creative, or how can they be useful, just hear me out. Sponges allow for players to erase water blocks so that they can easily build underwater. I think the sponges would be a good addition to the server block store. Selling at 1-2k each, more players would being building underwater, therefore inspiring so much creativity. I look frequently on the Live Map for cool spots to make a town (for if I get president), and I find that either the land that looks cool has been edited beyond repair, or there is already a town there. this simple block would lead to so many new creative towns. Instead of "Ok there is no good land, so I guess I will have to world edit for a water town," people would say, "Wow! With this sponge, I can build an underwater town, easily." I hope that you guys like this idea and help support it.
Spongies! Only thing I'm worried about is glitchy water/lava and maybe lag. Otherwise, sponges would be amazing.. Even just for decoration. <3
correcct me if im wrong but im pretty surre the water erase thing was taken out of minecraft and they just left sponges for building but even if this is the case im sure theres a plugin to allow it
Not to be a party popped but their is a bug with sponges if u remove them underwater the water does not fill back in I made a underwater home in 1.2.3 so idk if this is a bug still but i belive it is. (I have the slimball also :b)
I have about a stack of sponges. There are some existent on the server, they are just no longer obtainable. This means that if all the sponges were say, thrown into lava, they would be gone until some sort of method to obtain them presents itself again. The last method to obtain them was in the nether when we had Terminator rank give you kits for "grenades", sponges was one of the kits, and when you left clicked with one, it would send a grenade flying that would explode on contact to the ground. Grenades have been removed due to bugs/issues with the plugin used, and these bugs caused grenades not to work well at all... So all that's left is the leftover sponges from the kits that weren't used before the plugin was removed. As far as I am aware, there is no method to obtain them at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong. I support them being obtainable. I don't really see any issues with it, and we could use some of the extra space in the block store.
This is actually an excellent idea. I have never used sponges on minecraft, even in creative mode but being able to suck up some water would be absolutely amazing for those who desire underwater homes or towns. Like my town for example. I'm trying to build an underwater town but can't remove the water unless using a world edit. So I've been holding off on town construction until I could maybe get some sponges to be able to start building. This would be great for those who cannot get a world edit for their town because they are horrible with calculating numbers (great example is me BTW). Not only that but there could be some amazing things that you could build in ECC underwater. Like having tunnels underwater and using sponge to suck the water out from the tunnel itself. Golly maybe we could even have a cute railway system in the ocean of ECC.
Thank again everyone for all of your support! Also, if a moderator or super moderator stumbles upon this, can you try to get Andrewkm to look at this. I think it has enough supporters to be taken to him.
Yea cross. This is a great idea. Theres a ferw sponges floatin around, but the server store shud sell em to make em more accessible.
