For along time notch and the other programers wanted sponges to be functional and obtainable again. I came up with a good idea for sponges to be a legitable item again. I think sponges should be only found in generated structures like mossy cobble and chiseled, cracked, and mossy stonebrick so i thought that there should be a naturally spawning structure under the ocean called an Underwater Fortress. the fortress will be in the bottom of the ocean and there will be no blocks supporting the water except sponges this is how they become obtainable and of course a stonebrick floor. there can be many rooms and chests. Unfortunately oceans are boring and i think this fortress can make ocean a bit more fun. I also came up with a thought that when you use a sponge in water you can receive the water the sponge got rid of now my idea can go two ways... one where you right click the sponge with a bucket the bucket fills with water depending how much water it sucked up so say it sucked up 9 blocks of water you can fill 9 buckets... two where when you break the sponge after using it it drops the water block depending on how much water it sucked up. Thanks for reading and please comment
I initially expected sponge to be a mob; those things are animals after all.
