New redstone block that detects if the storm is close-by

[BluePineappleGuy]

Description of feature request

So a block crafted with tainted blocks, that would let you detect if the storm was approaching or is close, by checking for it in a large radius. It would emit a signal depending on how close the storm is to it.

Using this, one use would be an alarm system for a bunker, when you respawn the storm, so you can tell while still being safe.

So the amulet but in block form.

Essentially, yes.

redstone signals go up to 15, maybe it could be used for per block (like redstone signals do, duh) but times 100, so it'll start giving out signals when the storm is 1500 blocks or less away, and the signal gets stronger every 100 blocks it gets closer. just a side note/idea, idk if you like it though pinapple guy

That is exactly how i'd expect the block to work.

To add to this, what if the block uses the amulet to be crafted, and as such attracts the storm if no players are in the same dimension as the storm.

the attracting of the storm is highly unlikely for crackers to add, but an amulet could work for the recipie. It might also contain a daylight sensor, tainted dust, basic redstone components like torches and comparators, and maybe a new tainted quartz item obtained from the withered beacon.

I think it would be a block called "Detector".
