how's the spark usually made? i just wanna know where to place the catalyst so that it's actually useful.

[TigerCub414]

Well, I didn't intend for this to be useful, just a challenge, but the spark could form this way:

given that dying patterns being eaten usually isn't legal, i don't think this is legal either.
i have a possible start that you can do, though. add a block to the side to create a glider that can potentially destroy the tub and recreate the original block.
