Vine blocks(jungles)

Vine blocks naturally spawn in jungles, connecting jungle trees to one another as well as connecting the trees to the ground (possibly hugging around the entire tree at times from the bottom to the top). Vine blocks are climbable. 

Vine blocks can be crafted by filling every slot in a crafting table with vines.

Naturally generated vine blocks could have a small chance (about 1% or less on a large scale) of harbouring a type of food that could be very nourishing to players. If a player comes too close to a vine block harbouring this type of food, the block could explode and knock the player and other entities in a small radius around the explosion away, possibly making them fall from a high tree. This explosion won't destroy blocks.

The versatility this block offers by introducing new ways of exploring jungles in combination with the ability to find it harbouring food and the unique mechanics that come with that makes this block a great addition to jungles.
