Fire Detector

Main Idea: A great thing for you guys to add would be a fire detector.

Crafting: It would be created by using 3 stone slabs, 2 Redstone dust, one fireplace, and 3 obsidians

Functionality: The way it would work is, it would detect nearby fire, and depending on how near the fire is, stronger would be the Redstone signal. It would be a block-sized, not slab or daylight detector sized. It would generate a signal to north, south, west, and west, but not under or above the block, making easier to do contraptions with it.

Why would someone use it: It would be cool to make fire-activated machines, or even systems to protect houses for burning down. The block would be useful for mini-games where players would need to find the right spot to put the fire, would help contraptions, buildings, defense systems, and in general, the way people interact with the game.

    It should also detect campfire smoke that goes directly in it

    I would like to see a way to activate redstone contraptions with fire as well. It would be like lighting torches in a Zelda game to open a door.
