After looking at the (residence) code it seems like it would almost be easier to write pore instead of porting it -- barteks2x
Opt or Opt Not
Hit the head of the nail
Make your plugins entail
Our very own holey grail
…The Spongiest numbers around
Spongie’s box of tricks
Brings Ore’s latest fix
Kicking in Sponge metrics
…Now counting up, not down
Trying to earn the achievement: Read the docs completely... -- ST-DDT (PR#757)
Semicolonic
Programmers seem wont
To a self-censored font -
Omitting semicolons from their text.
In ancient Greek theory,
They indicated a query;
Is this the reason they are vexed?
They need not bring anguish,
For no matter the language,
They assist in clarifying facts;
For they merely denotes pauses
For separation of clauses;
Breaths taken in between tracts.

Afterword
My eyes are frail, my knees are dim, everything is going grey.
I need a bath chair to recline in. Who are you people anyway?

Sponge: The Epic - Part 64.621
Sailing o’er the horizon
The crew bent on discovery
New lands to set your eyes on
Fresh treasure for recovery
Exploring the secret spaces
We shared our invitation
Wandering lost in places
That beggar imagination
Volunteers became the bait
For creatures or machines
To disintegrate by Stargate
And other amusing scenes
Nothing here can stop us
Although we wonder why
As we watch developers
Plummeting from the sky
Spongy lands are manifold
Across the digital straits
Spongie is now 4 years old
With an empire of many states
I don't like commas -- phit (going into a comma coma)
Ripples in the Foam
Nothing really changes
Time simply rearranges
Parts in a deterministic path
Temporally traversable
In principle reversible
Like precipitating crystals from a bath
Backward becomes forward
Making reason awkward
As events commence to precede cause
Time’s arrow flies both ways
To the start and end of days
Ripples traveling in between the shores
"17 remain dead in morgue shooting spree"
Solve to Resolve
Riemann riddles us
The periodicity
Of the prime numbers
“I like spongeforge very much but it’s going to be a very bad game experience and I’m going to turn off the spongeforge server and I’m going to make it better and I’m going to make it better and I’m not going to make it better and you’re going to do it” – 5aihx
Nurse
In the channels there lurks an odd Bot
Which decides if you’re human, or not
She sends candid notes
To analyse your emotes
Then harvests your organs on the spot
Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough
The Hardest Thing
Traditional diamond swords
Really should not cut it
When mowing down the hordes
Their physics are untrusted
Crystal shovels also suspect
Axes scarcely credible
Armour a decorative object
Fitting would be terrible
Diamond’s special privilege
Can be brought to the fore
When you really want an edge
You’ll need a diamond saw
non fueris locutus nomen Rex flavorum
Tinkers Blues
Made my latest tool
Lost it like a fool
Not being very careful where I laid it
I meant to take a rest
Put it down as a test
Then the freaking coffee table ate it
Showing up is 80% of success. – Woody Allen
Here or There
Players all online
Server doing fine
Like ambrosia wine
The perfect anodyne
Because they’re AFK
Nobody here today
Temporarily away
Keeping lag at bay
It’d be a lot more convenient and exciting to find, say, a blueberry patch in the wilderness.
Or a flock of turnips. Maybe even a herd of cabbage. – Natesky9
Laundry List
Whenever things are used
They lose some of their order
Progressively more confused
Like ink dispersed in water
So it is with washing
Things move outside the box
You can find yourself with nothing
Except eleven pink socks
If the lady of the lake rode a horse, would it be a Mare?
Pi in the Sky
Strange equations tantalize
But they feed only the eyes
Why should I care about -iπ
When there isn’t a slice for I ?
“I thought a 70s plastic troll would be a good signifier for the whole of human art and culture” – Barry Andrews
Just One FAQ
Sponge was tabula rasa
The slate freed from legacy
No ancient API to master
From bukkit we’ll be free
Yet these questions forever
Documentation never wins
Too many echo together
“Can I use bukkit plugins?”
You can do whatever you please
Wear a teapot with a smirk
Fill folders with cottage cheese
Only Sponge plugins will work
spigot should add a doodly dangly thing to its faucet – Aerocet
Sponge Weather Report
Are implementations comparable?
Vanilla and Forge both have vices
Winds will be light to variable
When Sponge runs on your devices
Remember the three R's: Reduce, Recycle, Re-Animate
Wonderful World
The wonders of the world
That every newcomer sees
From spawn they may behold
The amazing floating trees
Pinnacles of bare earth
Like needles in the sky
So similar in girth
To pits that lie nearby
Towers made with lava
Lighting up your way
Signposts that we’d rather
Not print what they say
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it”

Intermission
In the time we borrow
Lies an implicit mission

Bad Plan (a Jäger marching song)
It’s a bad plan
It’s a bad plan when you lose your hat
It’s a bad plan, brother
Everything is wrong, and that is that
Who’s got a better one?
Show us a better idea.
Suggestions, anyone?
Let us make it clear:
It’s a bad plan
It’s a bad plan when you lose your hat
It’s a bad plan, sister

Rebuilding the Beast
The crowd is getting restless
The sights have all been seen
We’re coming close to Xmas
But no release for 1.13
Forges elves are scurrying
To rebuild the wondrous beast
We hope the work is hurrying
Before the next MC release
Spongie’s slaves keep toiling
To bring your coding cheer
Our cauldron goes on boiling
For a Happy Spongy New Year

Round Objects
From intro unto epilogue
Audio works are stored
In digital or as analogue
Which makes the better record?
If the universe is riddled with wormholes, I fear to see the worms
Whatchamacallit
Deep within the game
The mystery of the name
Accretes devoid of aim
Upon the wild road
Names for unnamed classes
Are extracted from the asses
Of the team that parses
The decompiled code
