Description
Requires the library mod Collective.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience modpack and Serilum's Extra Bundle mod.
Bigger Sponge Absorption Radius extends the functionality of the sponge block. By placing multiple blocks next to each other, the absorption radius increases. Whenever the water hits a dry (non-wet) sponge, it absorps water in the combined radius around that block. Uses a recursive function to count how many sponge blocks are placed next to each other, whenever they are neighbouring blocks. The radius is calculated by the default sponge radius * neighbouring sponge block count. Wet sponges are counted but cannot start the absorption process.
The effect in action; all sponge blocks used will be turned into a wet sponge.
