    Brief Description:sponges placed in valid areas will absorb water, but will not absorb it if there is kelp present.

    Instructions:mike a 3x3x3 water pool.
    Place kelp up through the middle.
    place a sponge where it would dry it out.
    kelp water remains
    works with tall seaweed too.

    How many times did you recreate this?: >10

    Result: water not dried off kelp

    Expected Result: water dried off kelp and kelp breaks as normal.

    @ClarinetPhoenix is this vanilla behaviour?
    If it is, then this is intended as our sponge mechanics have recently changed.

    In vanilla placing a sponge near underwater kelp/seagrass will break them.

    I am unable to reproduce this.
    Please sponges near areas with kelp works fine on my end:

    at the 5 second mark in your video to the left you can see a tall kelp that did not have the water on it dried out by the sponge.
    All water in the radius of the sponge should be dried plant in it or no.

    Oh shit, you're right.
    I'll have to drop this into my todo list for after our 1.18.2 update and investigate further.
    Thanks for bringing that up.

    @ClarinetPhoenix will be looking into this.
    At this moment we have no fix, it's a plugin issue that we don't have much control over.

    This is now fixed and live on the server.
    Sponges have been revamped and custom coded by us.
