Datapack Craft Sponge

Craft Sponge, a practical Minecraft datapack

Craft Sponge adds a new crafting recipe that lets players obtain a wet sponge without relying solely on ocean monuments. The recipe combines four slime blocks, four yellow concrete powder blocks, and one water bucket to produce one wet sponge, offering a clear resource path for ocean building, underwater bases, and large scale water removal.

Designed for Minecraft Java Edition, this lightweight datapack changes only the crafting system, keeping the rest of the vanilla experience intact. On a Minecraft server, it gives survival players more flexibility while preserving the value of exploration. At BoxToPlay, we see it as a simple quality of life addition for aquatic projects and practical construction.
