As far as the OP, nice work on your farm. Here is the sponge placement for my test (top view). x = water, o= a pillar of sand or gravel, s = Sponge oooooooooooo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oxsosxosxosxo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oxsosxosxosxo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oxxxxxxxxxxxo oooooooooooo And here is the side view. x = water, o= sand or gravel, s = Sponge oxsosxosxosxo oxxoxxoxxoxxo oxxoxxoxxoxxo oxsosxosxosxo oxxoxxoxxoxxo oxxoxxoxxoxxo oxsosxosxosxo oxxoxxoxxoxxo This worked well in test, I just had to manually remove a few water sources. I like this idea, and I am sure that I am not using it exactly the same, sorry. I have done enough so far to know that you guys worked very hard on your farm.
I was messing around with different sponge placement, trying to do it in rows and.... no. Go up/down in a column so the sponges are easy to take down. I spend more time trying to get the sponges removed than anything else doing it any other way. Hope that helps.
Jackpot Canyon (SMP5) has a guardian farm too, I will have to post pictures as I think ours the most beautiful of all! *stay tuned* for some screenshots!
