A Sponge plugin that can generate menger sponges of any arbitrary level in Minecraft!
A menger sponge is a type of 3D fractal that looks like a giant porous sponge. They resemble Sierpinski carpets, but in 3D.

Here are some generated with MengerGen:
Commands:
/menger [level]
This command will generate a menger sponge starting at your coordinates and proceeding in the positive X, Y, and Z directions. The permission node is “mengergen.generate”.
Be careful where you create them, there is no undo command!

The maximum level sponge possible in Minecraft is a level 5 (243 block height).
You can attempt to generate a level 6 with this plugin, however, the top will be cut off above the world height and it will take a very long time to generate, so it isn’t recommended. Level 7+ are virtually impossible to generate with current hardware due to the high RAM requirements.
The generation code itself (uses 6API-Bridge to interface with the Sponge API): link
In the future, I’ll be updating it further to support oversized sponges, other blocks, and maybe rotations.
Yo dawg…
