About
Simple Sponge was originally supposed to be a 1.10+ port of the Sponges from OpenBlocks back when the 1.10+ port of OpenBlocks didn't exist, but now, this mod features way more than just the original Sponges, there are various different Sponges you can use other than just the original ones!
You can use this mod with OpenBlocks together without any conflicts if you wish to have the additional items / blocks from this mod!
This mod currently is available for 1.10 - 1.13, 1.16, 1.18 - 1.20!
This mod is only available for Forge, other mod loaders like Fabric are not supported and will likely never be supported, mainly due to Forge being the dominant modding API for Minecraft, and it is extremely time consuming to maintain multiple different mod loader versions of a single mod. I have a full time job as a computer engineer and I do not have the time for this.
This mod now requires GunpowderLib to be installed for 3.6.3+ (1.12), 5.0+ (1.16), 6.0+ (1.18), 7.0+ (1.19) and 8.0+ (1.20).
Features

- 3 different Sponge variants - Regular, Magmatic and Creative
- 7 different Sponge on a Stick variants - Regular, Magmatic, Creative, Compressed Regular, Compressed Magmatic, Compressed Creative and Energized
- Regular Sponge breaks after absorbing hot fluids
- Magmatic, Creative and Energized Sponge and Sponge On A Stick variants can absorb hot fluids without breaking
- Configurable radius for all the Sponges (up to 64 blocks)
Configurable durability for Sponge on a Stick (Regular and Magmatic variants, up to 2147483647)(Removed as of 5.1 for 1.16 due to the way item registry works and configurable durability is no longer possible via config file)- Configurable energy and per right click energy use for Energized Sponge on a Stick
- OpenBlocks integration, Sponge and Sponge on a Stick will be disabled. Magmatic Sponge and Compressed Sponge on a Stick will use the Sponge from OpenBlocks if the integration is enabled (enabled by default as to prevent recipe conflicts, can be disabled through config if you wish to use the sponges from this mod, remember to use CraftTweaker to disable / modify the OpenBlocks sponge recipes though)
