Configurable SpongeA sponge as thirsty as you want it

Change how far a sponge reaches and how much water it soaks up. Two settings, no new blocks. For Minecraft 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.

Get started

Configuration

Reach

`maxDepth` sets how many blocks away a sponge can pull water from. Vanilla is 6.

Capacity

`maxCount` sets how many blocks the search can cover before the sponge is full. Vanilla is 65.

Still the vanilla sponge

No new items or recipes. The sponge and the wet sponge keep every other behaviour they have.

Live reload

Edit the config file while the game or server is running. The next sponge uses the new numbers.

Try the numbers first

The simulator runs the same search the game does, so you can see what a setting does before you commit to it.

Vanilla, and what you can change it to

Sponge

	Reach (`maxDepth`)	Search size (`maxCount`)	Water removed in open water
Vanilla	6	65	64
Mod default	6	64	63
Big sponge	10	1000	999

The search size includes the sponge's own block, so a sponge removes one block less than maxCount. How the sponge works explains why, and the simulator lets you try your own numbers.
