Sponges? by Phobiaxx August 17, 2014 at 12:08 AM UTC

Do sponges no longer work? liek a month ago they still worked... but now they don't for me... I'm using 1.7.10... whats the problem? :c i checked on google, but there werent any updates in a month's period related to getting rid of the sponge's purpose....

Sponge's have no purpose on any version before 1.8.

On 1.8 they soak water

What do you refer on how they work?

I think 1.7.10 is getting ready for 1.8 and they removed the Old sponge mechanics :P

@Cobalt838.. They did server a purpose of removing water as well only without getting wet and not being able to keep that up :P

Yes you have to wait for V1.8 :(

Its a shame that the sponges have been changed because they led to awesome BUD mechanics giving an update to a 5x5 area around it. I'm not sure if the new sponges do that though.

Yea, I think they soaked up water before then got rid of it. It'll be back in 1.8

I checked the mc wiki recently and discover that. It said that they changed it in 1.5 (Full) i think

I hope the owners see this post so they will remove the Dubs full off sponges.

I know you probably get the point by now but Mojang made it so sponges suck up water in snapshot 14w25a, and it turns into a wet sponge.
