[Mod]Sponge[sponge]

[FiftySix]

Sponges that remove water in an area around them.

They can be used to remove large amounts of water in survival, where worldedit would not be an option

Soggy sponges are found deep in the sea, where it is dark (below -11), and are quite rare (lights are recommended).
These can be cooked into dry sponges, and then placed near a liquid to remove an area of it.
They will hold the water away until they are removed.
They turn in to soggy sponges when used, so to use them again, they have to be cooked.

How it works:
- Sponges create a 9x9x9 cube of air-like nodes that water can't flow through (checks for protection).
- If sponges have cleared more than 3 nodes of liquid, they become soggy sponges.
- Removing a sponge or soggy sponge will turn air-like nodes in the 9x9x9 cube back into air, as long as they are not in the area of another sponge.
(Air-like nodes can be removed in protection by removing a sponge outside the protection. they are not meant to be permanent)

Nice and simple mod! +1

I found a tiny bug: When I'm in creative and place sponge, the sponge vanishes from my hand. Use something like this:

Code: Select all

if not (creative and creative.is_enabled_for and creative.is_enabled_for(player_name)) then
	itemstack:take_item()
end

EDIT: Also when right-click a chest with a sponge in hand, the sponge is placed. Use code like this:

Code: Select all

local under = pointed_thing.under
local node = minetest.get_node(under)
local udef = minetest.registered_nodes[node.name]
if udef and udef.on_rightclick and not (placer and placer:is_player() and placer:get_player_control().sneak) then
	return udef.on_rightclick(under, node, placer, itemstack, pointed_thing) or itemstack
end

Ok, thanks.

All problems with placing should now be fixed.

Cool, this will save time clearing out underwater rooms.

Update:
I finally fixed a bug, after more than 2 years.
I believe this mod is "finished".
Also slightly modified textures.

nice, gonna see if i can make a little sponge tower and create a water vacuum :3

[Merak]

Would be nice to be able to combine sponges to make larger sponges, which suck up more water.

Cool!

Just so to let ppl know, i tried it and is not a 9x9 area, is a cube xD. pretty neat in case you want to make something underwater.

Moved this mod because it follows the guidelines.
