[Mod] mysponge [mysponge]

[Don]

My daughter has been wanting me to make this mod. I would like to hear some constructive criticism because I know there must be better ways of doing this.

This is a sponge that soaks up water. Place the sponge in the water and water is absorbed in the sponge. The sponge grows.

Once the sponge has soaked up water you can put the sponge in the furnace to dry it out. This will give you 3 water source and return a dry sponge. If you place a soaked sponge with air around it it will dry out.
This mod adds dry leave. Cooks leaves and they dry out.

To craft a sponge:
default:mese_crystal_fragment , mysponge:dry_leaves , default:mese_crystal_fragment
mysponge:dry_leaves , default:mese_crystal_fragment , mysponge:dry_leaves
default:mese_crystal_fragment , mysponge:dry_leaves , default:mese_crystal_fragment

Looks like it has some additional features (growing in size, cooking for getting water back). That might be pretty nice. Does it also pick up other liquids? Removing lava spills or that green hurting liquid in carbone might be further uses for a sponge.

I only made it pick up water. This is a work in progress.
I was thinking of making it burn in lava but make it so you can upgrade it to pick up lava with a more advanced craft.

This looks pretty cool. You might want to make the textures a little more detailed, and instead of using a bunch of different textures for the different amounts of water stored in it, I think you could just use [colorize to darken the texture slightly (i'm not exactly sure how)

One time I made a mod that added a wooden bucket that could carry water, but if you used it on lava it would turn into default:skorched_stuff

The texture needs to be changed. I made these textures up really fast just for testing. I haven't tried using colorize yet. I need to play with it to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestions.

It would also be cool if you could pump water out of the sponge, so then you could have an underwater city that uses sponge to keep out the water (however this is kind of advanced, so It might be hard to do)

The sponge needs a Patrick too. :P

My daughter actually wants me to make a spongebob mod.
You do the models and I will put it together into a mod.

I may pass on that as I can't afford to upset Nickeloden. But I had toyed with creating a complete world for my kids. For private use of course *cough*

The fact that this lets me build under water? Makes it Awesome.

The fact you made it for your kid? Makes YOU Awesome.

In fact, I think it's safe to say... you've earned that Avatar, Don.

Update - fixed issue with sponge drying before you pick it up. Caused issue with putting in furnace.
