• Lava sponj
  • Absorbs lava instead of water
  • Radius depends on the number of connected lava sponjes, same as the regular sponj
• Wet sponj
  • What you get when a sponj absorbs some water
  • Can be dried out in the nether or smelted to get a sponj back
• Wet lava sponj
  • What you get when a lava sponj absorbs lava
  • Can be dried out in the end
  • Wet lava sponjes can be used as fuel in a furnace, smelting 128 items and leaving a dry lava sponj behind
    • Be sure to only insert a single wet lava sponj at a time. If you do, you won’t get dry ones back!
