About

A Wet Sponge forms when a sponge absorbs water or lava. It retains the sponge's ability to absorb liquid, but cannot absorb more water until you dry it. Smelt a wet sponge in a furnace or blast furnace to restore it to a dry, reusable sponge.

Wet sponges stack to 64 and break quickly (0.6 hardness), so collecting them is practical for emptying water systems or harvesting from lava. They are most useful on servers where admins need to manage large flooded builds or reset terrain.
