Ok, I know that sponge being obtainable in survival is over-suggested but I have a new idea:Instead of Sponge blocks spawning naturally like other suggestions propose, I seek to implement a new mob... The Sponge mob!
This mob's name will not be Sponge mob square pants, and it will not live in a pineapple under the sea, it will look like a slime in a sponge texture, it will hop around the water and can be as large as a large slime, or a small as a tiny slime. They will not split like magma cubes or Slimes, and do 8 health points of damage (4 hearts) of damage when under water, though it will be reduced to 6 health points for large, 4 for medium and 1 for small if out of the water.
Their weakness is the fishing pole, if you hit one, reeling back in will real the spongey abomination towards you no matter the size, allowing you to reel it out of the water with ease. It is a neutral mob that acts like an enderman, and will not attack the player if being looked at (Yes, it will attack if NOT looked at.) though it will avoid the player if he/she is wearing a pumpkin, if looked at it would retreat as long as being looked at, unless it's hit at which point it will peruse the player unless it loses sight of them.
It naturally jumps around the sea floor like a slime or magma cube does on land, and will crawl on land like a Slime in water, when attacking it jumps high off the water to attack the player, it is rather speedy, but can't alter it's course very much, and if the player is swimming at full speed it will probably miss.
It has health depending on size like a slime, large sponges having 16 health, medium having 6 and small having 3. When killed it drops 1 piece of sponge if small, 2-3 pieces if medium, and 4-6 if large, and 1-3 fish if small, 4-6 if medium and 6-9 if large (If you're looking for a scientific answer to why the Sponge drop fish, the sponge eats fish, it is mutated to the point of being capable of movement and catching [and eating] fish.)
This mob would spawn in ocean biomes at any time of day and attack other mobs (Mainly squids since they would come in contact most). Also, Sponge should regain it's ability to suck up water, as to give the drops of this mob a purpose.Support living mobs.

They also have a chance of spawning dyed, they can spawn in all primary colors (Colors that can be obtained without mixing dyes) and will drop their respective colour dye when killed.

This would also make sense with the existing slimes, look:
The elements are
Earth
Fire
Water
and Air
Slimes are found underground (Swamps too, but were first found underground) so their element is earth,
Magma cubes are found in the Nether and can withstand fire so their element is fire,
Sponge is found in the ocean and can't drown so it's element is water,
There's also a slime mob in the Aether mod, so that's air if they make the Aether canonical.
This sounds interesting! I just don't like the mob name, maybe just call it a sponge and it drops sponge blocks? Full support!
It's not called the Sponge mob, that's just what I called it to make sure people could distinguish between the Sponge mob and Sponge block, Sponge would be it's name.Wanting to make a poll, I don't know how though :/

You can make a poll by editing the main post (full editor) and at the side there should be a button for 'Manage Poll', click on it and there will be stuff to create and edit a poll.

This is a silly and unique idea, so I'll say it's good. Much different than the other threads. I also support that sponge should be used to soak up water, and spew the water out when destroyed.

I don't really see the point of this rather than obtaining sponge in survival and some fish.
I would just support an over suggested idea instead.
The only part where I will support is the capability of sponge being able to suck water again.

The main points are indeed, fish and Sponge, without the oceans looking stupid with Sponge making massive craters all over it. But another point is adding a sea mob besides those derpy looking "Squids" Which lack any feature of Squids not shared by Octopities (The correct plural of Octopus).
As interesting as this is, I don't think the majority of players would like a reference to Spongebob Squarepants... As a mod, I could see this happening, though.

I had never heard of the Octopities thing. I had always thought it was Octopus. But when, I did some research, I was proved wrong. Well, sort of.
So I went to some dictionaries and Wikipedia for Octopus. They all agreed that Octopuses was a valid pluralization of octopus, and many people used it. They also mostly agreed upon octopodes, although some said that it sounded pedantic (?). I'm not going to pretend to know what that means, but apparantly octopodes fits in with the greek rules better and octopuses fits in with current english rules. So both apparantly were correct. Next came octopi. Apparantly octopi is not correct. It comes from the mistaken belief about how octopus is latin derivative. But some dictionaries like Webster's said that it was still a correct pluralization now, because of it's wide usage or something. I don't know if octopi is correct or not.
Next I searched for Octopities on google. Google came up with 3 pages of results, most of them repeats. There were some people on blogs just saying that Octopities was the correct usage, with no source. The rest were various minecraft things, which I assumed were you.
Back to the suggestion. I like this idea, as it adds sponges with a nice little mob to go with it. I think that the damage is a little overpowered however.
This may be just crazy enough to work, so I think I'll leave my support right here for the funsies. Though now that I think of it, I'd recommend adding in a Sponge Block as an extra drop too, at least for the bigger ones. Maybe it could absorb fall damage, i.e. you only take half as much if you land on it as opposed to other blocks like dirt, stone, etc.
As interesting as this is, I don't think the majority of players would like a reference to Spongebob Squarepants... As a mod, I could see this happening, though.
I'm not good enough at hacking to make a mod, but you know, if I learn coding than maybe. Also, the reference to spongebob squarepants was just me being random.
I considered various names for it, and I'm thinking, rather than name it Sponge (Like how a slime is simply called a Slime) Or a Sponge cube (Like how a Magma cube has the suffix cube), it should have something new, not sure what yet though.
Why are you suggesting stuff to Mojang? You think they read this?
That doesn't contribute anything to the topic. And it's close to saying "Don't make suggestions at all mojang doesn't read em''
