[Mod] Sponges [sponge]

[aximx51v]

Here's a Sponge mod, since all the older ones have disappeared.
place a sponge and it'll soak up all water around it, as long as you leave it there.




don't place it in lava though, it'll just burn...




that's what the iron sponge is for! iron sponges work in water and lava. they also soak up a bigger area than normal sponges do.




use them to create underwater(or underlava) rooms and tunnels, or to mop up any spills.




and here's the recipes:

sponge:
leaves, leaves, leaves,
leaves, mese, leaves
leaves, leaves, leaves

iron sponge:
steel ingot, steel ingot, steel ingot
steel ingot, sponge, steel ingot
steel ingot, steel ingot, steel ingot

Hey aximx51v, I was thinking why you, don't use my Sponge I made for my, portaltest it called Something Block in the textures, and use it for yours lava Sponge since, I made it like a lava Sponge.

[aximx51v]

it works but the iron sponge also works in water.

that's the idea. iron sponge does the same thing a normal sponge does, and more.

There's an very old post (also interesting for it's other links for new forum members),

http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php ... 692#p13692

that mentions erlehmann's sponge-mod. It gives the following, still working, links to the file and to a screenshot:

I couldn't find it as a modding topic.


There exists a mod removing water and lava called watergone, by Switch5681. Link to the modding page (with still working link to the down;oad file:

They are old mods, at least 8 months. I didn't test them.

I think people will find your mod very usefull, because it will be up to date. Maybe you can integrate code/ideas from those mods and expand it a bit more.

The sponge mod by erlehmann was one of the first mods introduced in Minetest, far as i know

thanks so much for the links!
i've tried the sponge/water_remover mods, and they still work. i borrowed some code from the sponge mod to make the iron sponge repel more water/lava.
i also tried the two exploding mods, but they don't explode anymore, oh well..
maybe they could be fixed, anybody wanna try?

[proller]

now with latest minetest build
liquid_finite = true
liquid_relax = 0
liquid_fast_flood = 0

water/lava can be replaced with default "air" in this mod, and sponge will destroy all water around

[Gambit]

iron sponge?

are you talking about the current dev, or stable release?
I can update this mod if it'll still work in the stable...

iron sponge?

yep. normal sponges would burn up in lava. so it's coated in metal to withstand the higher temperatures, or something like that...

who says it has to be realistic anyway...?

[proller]

in 0.4.5 release
you can use
if minetest.setting_get("liquid_finite") then ....

and suggestion:
two types of sponges:
1. finite sponge like current - can absorb only 8 or 63(iron) blocks of water, can be moved to dry place and and release water on punch.

2. infinite sponge for new water - always absorb water around, and may be can release 8 or 64 waters on punch

[4aiman]

If sponges are to release water, then only on punch AND shift. Other way one will end up releasing water before he/she even dug it.

[aximx51v]

interesting ideas, I'll have to play around with this

[jordan4ibanez]

put my cake on the sponge, jordach's texture pack, minecraft. nice mod

[proller]

maybe use infinite sponge if minetest.setting_get("liquid_finite") and minetest.setting_get("liquid_relax")>0 else current sponge.

The sponge seems to be unbreakable - is this a glitch with newer versions of minetest?
