Sculk Spore Fungus

I felt that there was something missing when the the sculk sensors were first introduced as there could be more to make redstone more advanced. Which is why I created an idea of another sculk related block. This can be called the "sculk spore", other names can include antenna, fungus, satellite etc. This is plant that grows on sculk growth blocks and works very differently but coops well with the sculk sensors. Instead of sensing vibrations in It's area like the sensors do, It recieves and sends vibrations on to other sensors exclusively, that are too far outside of the radius of sculk sensors that first receive the vibrations of sound,helping to carry on the signal. This almost works very similar to how satellites work nowadays. I find this very useful to expand the game mechanics of the sculks, especially both aiding in cases such as cave generation, helping Warden from a farther distance to locate players or to also exapnd the use of wireless redstone even further, for players to become more innovative. However some exceptions apply to this specific block: It extremely long to grow, If harvested and grown outside It's habitat (The Deep Dark) in the Overworld. It grows significantly faster only in "The Deep Dark" But grows slightly less longer when in Overworld during the night. Sculk Spores can only be found around Sculk Growths but can rarely be found within the growths. If It has been found, It can only be harvested by shears. Thanks for reading and pls add! :)

  Update:
  People can decide another name beginning with an "S" etc.

  Another idea was that this sculk block is background and reasoning. It should have larger radius than sculk sensors to be able to reach other sensors that are farther away from the interpreted location of where the first sensors recieve vibrations. The sculk spore (calling it that for now) has connected intertwined roots with the sensors, as of plant life does.

  With this it will display slight movement and a different tune than the sensors and displays that It is sending a message signal towards farther sensors or sensors that have not received a signal to be made aware. Carrying out the vibrational message.

  I like this because It will broaden the horizons for wireless redstone and be made more exciting yet fun to innovate and with. I really do find this a great idea, and If anyone else thinks so please vote and comment on what you think or what additional ideas there should be to this.
