sponges only protect an area for 24 hours , is this a bug or intentional ?
other players can just break your sponge that you have spent your emeralds on and grief you.
seems silly to me.
can sponge protection time be increased to maybe a month and a warning given perhaps ?

 

Yeah it's a really annoying bug. :/
Moving to bugs and exploits.

Feel free to make another thread here if this is still an issue.
