Useful Sponge is meant to be simple for all users to access (might change in the future). Useful Sponge is configurable to soak up water and lava within a set distance, which can be changed with the config file. You can also turn off the water and or lava feature. There are no commands to use at the moment, just plug the jar file into your plugins folder and your ready to go.
To-Do List:
(Priority) Hooking into Spout for some nice graphic pop ups
Implement redstone usage
Hopefully by 29 Aug 2011 (10% done)
Set up permissions and nodes for PermissionsEx (PEX) (50% done)
