Sponge: The Most Useless block in MC


But I've come up with four features that could be added to sponge. There may be mods that have one or two of these things, but I'm basing this off only my own ideas. Enjoy!




Proposed Crafting Recipe:









x - Slimeball




y - Yellow Dye

1 - The FallBreaker









Probably the most sought out use for sponge, a block that when fallen on from a any height provides perfect, or better fall resistance.









Heres what I think:




10 Block Fall - 2 Damage (Normally would be 3.5)




20 Block Fall - 3 Hearts Damage (Normally would be 7 hearts)




30 Block Fall - 5 Hearts Damage (Normally would equal death)




40 Block Fall - 8 Hearts Damage (Normally Would equal Death)









Anything above 45 blocks would be death, unless you had something like feather falling boots or powerful armor. This would give sponge a unique use and make it valuable for use in both survival and mapmaking.









2 o The NameProofer









Another good idea for sponge is to add an effect to it where a players overhead name cannot be seen through 2 sponge blocks, and is very hard to see through 1. This would be good for PvP servers and building bases so that players names couldno t be seen. Also it would make for a good item in mapmaking, especially when making hungergames or PvP style maps.









Not exactly sure how this one would work, but I think ito d be a cool little use nevertheless.









3 o The SoundProofer









This oneo s tricky, I dono t know how you could get this to work, but its an idea and it can be built upon. The concept is, sound from players and animals is quieter through sponge. This kind of goes with the last one, where sponge is used as a tool for stealth and disguise. With this, lets say a player is walking on the other side of a wall. It would normally be pretty easy to hear, but if that wall was sponge, it would be a different case. The footsteps would be silent. The other great use for this would be as an outer lining for farms. Animal farms are really noisy, and having one in your house can be a bother, but its not good to turn off your sound. So, with this feature, you could line the walls of the farm with sponge and the animal noises would be almost silent, until you stepped into the room. If you were trying to make a secret animal farm on a raiding server, this could be good!









4 o Sponge Cake









Because, you know, why not?
