To obtain sponges, there should be a coral reef biome. To harvest them, you must take coral from the coral reef, then put it in crafting with an empty bucket or another way could be cooking it in the furnace. This will give you the sponge.
A danger of obtaining sponges however should be sharks which may spawn in this biome.
An advantage of this biome is that it is easier to catch fish in this biome.
Maybe not necessarily create a whole new biome for it, but if oceans just randomly generated coral reefs with sponges I would be very happy. This is a great idea. And I'm always down for sharks (been watching shark week lately)
What will sponges do? Why is this suggested biome so painfully undetailed? What stats will a shark have? How does a coral reef become sponges? What genius would go fishing underwater, where coral reefs are found, and risk drowning and sharks?
It is an interesting but depressing reality that most politicians are just regular people with power. And most people would be as bad as politicians if only they could get some power.

Sharks
Hostile only in water
15 Hearts (30 hits)
Damage Output
1.5 hearts on easy
2.5 hearts on medium
3.5 hearts on medium Drops fish and some shark related item
Jaws(1/100 shark spawn chance like the spider jockey)
30 hearts (60 hits)
Twice as big
Damage output
3 hearts on easy
4 hearts on medium
5 hearts on hard Drops fish and some shark related item
How's that for the stats? Water should have some difficulty to it.
there should just be coral biomes in general which have sponges and coral within them. Sponges honestly don't have any purpose but to dissipate water so they wouldn't be much use. Unless it was so where if you land on one it would absorb the impact and leave you unharmed from the fall.

Sponges used to be able to soak up a 5x5x5 area of water OR LAVA, this is a way to reimplement them into the game. In real life sponges are in coral reefs, so why not get them from coral? .. or they could always just do soaked sponge/dry sponge. You wouldn't have to be under the water to get the better fishing, as long as your bobber is within' the biome. The reason you'd want to risk going in with sharks? Sponges make building near lava or water MUCH easier and safer since they also prevent the lava/water from reentering the 5x5x5 area around them.

That's true, they could spawn similarly to how villages do.
