Sponge

1Block states
YesItem form

The Sponge is a block in Minecraft. It is not found lying around the world in this description; instead, it is made by crafting from a Wet Sponge.

Players break a Sponge with a hoe, which is the fastest tool for the job. When broken, it drops itself, so it can be picked up and placed again elsewhere.
