Sponges dry above campfires

by anymorunderscore

Sponges dry above campfires is a NeoForge game mechanics mod that turns wet sponges dry when they are placed over a lit campfire.

NeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT License1.21.1

What it does

A wet sponge placed five blocks or less above an active campfire dries after about ten seconds. Soul campfires work the same way, so the effect applies to both campfire types. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 as a single build, 1.0.0, released on 2026-05-12, under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Drying over campfires

    A wet sponge placed above a lit campfire becomes dry after a short wait, turning the sponge into a usable block.

  2. Soul campfire support

    Soul campfires dry sponges in the same way as regular campfires.

  3. Placement height

    The sponge must sit no more than five blocks above the campfire for the drying to begin.

What the author says

Mod pretty much does what the name implies. Place a sponge above an active campfire and it will dry in 10 seconds, 5 seconds if placed above a soul campfire.
