Diamond Pressure Plate

Currently we have pressure plates made of wood, iron, stone, and gold. Why not diamond? Here are some ideas:

• Can detect players and nothing else. Outputs a signal strength of 15.

• Detects players and mobs. The longer something stands on it, the signal strength gradually increases.

• Detects players and mobs. The more items in that player's or mob's inventory the stronger the signal strength.

    I really like the signal strength being controlled by the players inventory. I think it would be great if it did both #1 and #2 detecting only player and outputting signal strength based on there inventory. You could potently have a survival arena that only allowed a specific number of items to be carried in forcing the player to choose. The only problem is how would you check to see if the player had no inventory. I guess it could be indicated with a signal strength of 1

    I do like the idea of an inventory based pressure plate, to the point where I feel like that should be the focus of the post, rather than suggesting yet another pressure plate purely for the sake of having it. It could even be added as a property of the existing Polished Blackstone Pressure plate to set it apart. Diamond already has plenty going for it as it is.
