Hello I’m a BX toy cat and welcome back to another feature preview feature proofs are a series I run on my channel where I show you features that are going to be included in the next big update for Minecraft Xbox and minecraft PlayStation and I can do this by showing You gameplay from the corresponding PC update that it comes from this way you can get a like kind of feel for how it looks and how it works and that’s why I call them feature previews anyway the reason it’s been a couple of months since the last one of these I did is Because regarding the next big update to you 30 we’re currently calling you we don’t really know too much from 4j they’ve been pretty quiet about the whole ordeal until the last bug fix where it was entirely bug fixes the update besides one actual change the game where they change the sponge Texture to be the texture from after they updated the sponge block to do lots of new things and that means that although it’s not confirmed the sponge will be in the next update it does seem very very likely now so I’m gonna be covering exactly you know how the sponge Looks worked how you find it all these sorts of new things that change as of the sponge update and stuff and yeah that’s what I’m doing in today’s video so please do liked it if you do like that source stuff it helps out the channel lore and lets me we’ll see more Feature previous just like this one and speaking people if you like feature previous I do have a playlist for the recipes in the description down below and hopefully an annotation to so you can just click on that if you want to learn more about all the other features We’re currently believing are gonna be into that because you can go check that stuff out anyway let’s get straight into the video then shall we by talking about you know the sponge and how it is actually a new feature for t30 because opium for the next update because you Might think way minute check out we’ve had sponges since like t 5 they’re a very very old feature you know can get them already right and that is technically true but sponges don’t do anything they’re just a block that you can stare and be like yep I have sponges in my house they sure do look pretty don’t they but they don’t actually do anything in the current update however that changes as of the 1.8 update of the PC because it actually changes them to be what a sponge actually does and absorb water absorbs Water anywhere from seven blocks you know you like you calculate the SEM blocks to any distance from it to actually give you the you know how many blocks up it absorbs and it basically means you can absorb a lot of water not inside ocean like this one because it Will just immediately be going back but if you have an area like this where you can see it’s all sectioned off but there’s a lot of water they’d have to manually gear up instead of manually going in and doing that what I can actually do is I can just place a sponge Over there and boom all of water instantly disappears and turns into this sponge so if you do use a sponge to absorb water this way it will turn your sponge into a wet sponge which does have its own little purpose but just bear in mind they are separate blocks so if you do Like just your creative stuff and having things look different you can see there is a very slight difference between this and this namely that you’ve got the popular pets and the slightly darker color so just bear in mind they are slightly different blocks that they don’t stack together and they have Slightly effects and you can turn wet sponges back into reg sponges but we’ll cover that in a second let’s cover how you actually get sponges to turn them into sponges and stuff because you might be like okay so we’ve got the sponges how do we actually get them though Because I get their work now but what do they do so yeah this is something you obviously only have students apply books and creative you can just go ahead and do that if you want to but you’re going to need to have the water temples so you Know as a obviously inclusion of this they’re probably going to include this too but they could just make the sponge more active in t30 we’re not sure but if you are going to get these in survival the way it is I’m gonna quickly go to create it by the way if you’re wondering If you’re going to do this you know if you can actually get these in survive but you’re gonna need to personal drink some night vision potion so you can see below water and then go to where your Guardian templates because the gun these water temples ocean monuments they’re Called are the two ways to get sponges in survival for Minecraft and they’re both a little tricky so the first one is that you need to kill your elder Guardian out Guardians are a very rare mop I think that’s it poking its tail out from that but odor guns are very Tricky mob kill they have four times as many helpers to play and they’re very very tricky Guardians are kind of tricky enough to kill as it is but this elder Guardian gives you the stats effect of giving you mining fatigue so you can’t break blocks really at all while you’re Nearby and just a bunch of stuff like that but if you you can get one sponge from killing him or if you run through the entire of this washed temple so you’ll probably need a watering potion or you’ll need to have some way of getting air down here you need to go Through here you need to kill all the Guardians you know get past them all in somewhere eventually you’ll find a room which is covered in wet sponges so these are of course wet sponges because they’re sinking below the water I don’t know why the Guardian temples have all Of these wet sponges but it’s just one of the blocks that they have hit don’t question it too much and you can break these and of course pick these up so poor in survival would be able to pick these up and then we’d have lots of wet Sponges but then we just have wet sponges right would we do those to have something useful so yeah it regards how you get your sponge or your wet sponge if you know at some point need to turn them back into a real thing so it was my Old okay there’s my island I got a low loss there but yeah so you can see quartz ocean monument very very cool very very scary but that’s something for enough time but for now we need to cover exactly how you turn these wet sponges back into regular sponges It is pretty cool because you can just put them in a furnace and dry them up which I really like there but not only can you do that do that to drive them off but if you have so let’s make some more wet sponges here so here you can See I’m just getting rid of loads of water which is technique thing you can do so let’s go back to sublime on out game-mode 0 and let’s show you exactly what you can do with these sponges to do some cool stuff so if we break this and We break this if you put these in the furnace with if you put the wet sponge in the furnace and using a bucket of lava because the love of course drains to turn this and stuff when you eventually make the dry sponge because that’s what happens eventually you get a Nice sponge like this and it turns back to your regular one I will actually happen is when you drain the sponge to make the sponge you actually turned your empty bucket into a water bucket so it’s a pretty cool way to make some water from it I mean waters kind of next to Infinite anyway but if you do want to have some extra water you can totally do that by drying off a sponge and turning into a dry sponge and some water so just something cool that I thought was even one of the things you can do that is the Sponge it’s a cool new block that mostly it makes you know getting rid of large amounts of water easier but you know you can also use it you know in survival in survival is a kind of decorator block because things are very rare blocks you Can apply in so many pearl world you can also use it in creative but just mass water removal projects like you can remove this entire ocean if you’re really dead cared and just spam it really faster there’s a lot of cool things you can do with sponges and That’s why I think they won the cool features they’ll be including the next big up there whether or not they’ll be properly available in survival I you know the ability to get them from ocean one man is yet to be known because that is a very big feature that is kind of a Prerequisite to get is in survival but the fact that lives or water does seem like it’s very water likely for the next update and yeah I’m looking forward to that so let me know you think about the sponges so far in the comments down below I’m very curious as to what you Have to say also please do like it if you do like it helps out the channel or and let’s know do like it share the video if you really liked it and subscribe if you’re new around here I make videos like this every single day my channel and I’ll keep making more Feature previews as more stuff becomes likely for the next big update anyway thank you for watching and I’ll see you all in the next video bye Video Information
