About this project
What does LavaSponge add?
Description
What began as a throwaway joke, became a mod.
The lava sponge is like a sponge, but for Lava
Crafting
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.

No need to ask just use it :)
