The regular sponge is pretty underwhelming. It caps out at a 7-block radius and you have to dry it in a furnace before it works again. The Super Sponge data pack fixes that. It adds one item that removes water with no limits and no drying step, and you control exactly how wide it reaches.
Features
- The Super Sponge removes water with unlimited uses. No cooldown, no furnace trip.
- Adjust the effective radius anytime with this command:
/scoreboard players set maximum fillsponge x(replace x with any number) - To get one, drop 6 regular Sponges and 3 Nether Stars on the ground at the same time. They will merge into the Super Sponge.
