This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a wet sponge with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a wet sponge is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

How to get a Wet Sponge in Survival Mode

There are 2 ways to get a wet sponge in Survival mode.

1. Find Wet Sponges Growing in the Ocean Monument

You can add a wet sponge to your inventory in Survival mode by gathering wet sponges that grow naturally in the Ocean Monument (also called Guardian Temple). So, let’s get started!

The Ocean monument is found in the Deep Ocean, Deep Lukewarm Ocean and Deep Cold Ocean biomes.

Wet Sponge - Wiki Guide 6

Once you’ve found the Ocean Monument, look for a group of sponges growing in the temple. In this example, we’ve found a group of sponges growing on the ceiling in one of the rooms in the temple. You will need to dig up one of these wet sponges.

The game control to dig up the wet sponge depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the wet sponge.

  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.

The wet sponge will break and a smaller sponge will float on the ground. Make sure you pick up the wet sponge before it disappears.

2. Find and Kill an Elder Guardian

You can add a wet sponge to your inventory in Survival mode by killing an elder guardian.

In Minecraft, you can find guardians inside the Ocean Monument (also called the Guardian Temple). These Ocean Monuments are found in the Deep Ocean and Deep Lukewarm Ocean biomes.

Once you find an elder guardian, you need to attack it. When you attack the elder guardian, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the elder guardian. Once you have killed the elder guardian, it may drop one or more of the following: a wet sponge, prismarine crystals, or prismarine shards.
