Configurable Sponge

Change how far a sponge reaches and how much water it soaks up. Two settings, no new blocks or items, and the sponge keeps every other vanilla behaviour.

Features

• Reach: maxDepth sets how many blocks away a sponge can pull water from.
• Capacity: maxCount sets how many blocks a sponge can absorb before it is full.
• Live reload: edit the config while the game or server is running, and the next sponge uses the new numbers. No restart needed.
• Fabric and NeoForge, for Minecraft 26.1.2.

Configuration

The config file is config/configurablesponge-common.toml:

[sponge]
    maxDepth = 6
    maxCount = 64

The sponge's own block counts towards maxCount, so a sponge removes one block less than the value you set. Set maxCount = 65 to match vanilla exactly.

Very large values can lag a server, because every removed block is a block update. Raise them gradually.
