What it does

This datapack allows for the creation of super sponges that effectively remove all water in a large area.

Craftable with 6 regular sponges and 3 nether stars in a crafting table (below MC 1.21 you need to throw these items onto the ground together). Can easily be adjusted to whatever fits your servers needs. (If you need help with that, feel free to reach out).

How to set up

Download the zip file and place it into your world/datapacks folder. If the world is already running, run reload. That's all you need to do. That way it has been set to 10 blocks range. To change that, use the following command in chat (replace XX with your desired range):

/scoreboard players set maximum fillsponge XX

This number can be changed at any time you want.

Be aware that using this sponge especially with higher maximum numbers will lag the server!

Customisation

You can easily customize which blocks you want the sponge to replace. For this, open up the replace.json file located inside the pack at SuperSponge_vXXX/data/fill_sponge/tags/blocks/replace.json and change the values tag to be whatever you want to replace.

Here are three examples that you can download (rightclick > save target as). You'll need to replace the replace.json file with one of these, renaming it to replace.json.

file - value

replace_water (default) - "minecraft:water", "minecraft:kelp", "minecraft:seagrass", "minecraft:tall_seagrass", "minecraft:bubble_column" replace_lava - "minecraft:lava" replace_underground - "minecraft:dirt", "minecraft:grass_block", "minecraft:stone", "minecraft:andesite", "minecraft:granite", "minecraft:diorite"
