can someone explain the use of sponge to me as simple as possible does it bridge plugins and mods, if so yay if not where can I find such thing ill be checking back in about 20 hours or so or maybe randomly in-between, I like the how to geek-like post system (probably not originally there’s)
Sponge does not really bridge anything. It’s designed as a replacement for Bukkit. From what I understand there’s a project called Pore that is supposed to be a Bukkit to Sponge bridge but it’s not really in development anymore.
Sponge is a plugin framework, similar to Bukkit, that allows developers to create plugins for Minecraft servers.
There is a Sponge mod that works in concert with Forge, and then SpongeVanilla, that I think is supposed to work without Forge but I don’t know much about it.
Long story short: SpongeAPI is a new plugin API that interfaces with Minecraft. It is designed for the possibility of mods adding new content, most of which plugins will be able to know of without having to hard depend on implementation details of those mods. SpongeForge is the forge implementation of SpongeAPI, while SpongeVanilla is strictly the vanilla Minecraft server targeted implementation of SpongeAPI. Bukkit plugins do NOT natively run on SpongeAPI and none of the Sponge implementations currently natively support Bukkit plugins.

If you’re interested, it’s called Discourse. SpongePowered, How-To Geek, and several other sites use it for their forums.
The Sponge Project does have some pretty decent documentation, including an updated FAQ.
I highly recommend visiting here to seek answers: https://docs.spongepowered.org/en/about/index.html
