What began as a throwaway joke, became a mod.
The lava sponge is like a sponge, but for Lava
Crafted with a sponge and 4 buckets of lava
Place it in lava to have it suck up the lava.
It will then give off light.
Cool it down by surrounding it by at least 5 blocks of ice, or use it as fuel in a furnace.
Please use it in your modpacks. Do it
No need to ask just use it :)
