Unstable Dripstone

This type of dripstone would look slightly different to the normal one and will fall when a player is directly under it or near that area. It will make a small wiggle and quiet rocky sound before it drops. One of it's features is its ability to not break when it falls and hits the ground. It will stay impaled on a solid block upside down making it into a platform. It could then break after a while of being impaled on the ground. I think this would also be a cool natural trap in caves to keep players alert when exploring that doesn't require any complex imput besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could also work as a disposable poor man's skulk block as it can detect entities but will be nowhere as useful since its one use, can only detect mobs/players and only from a short distance.

    Great! This also gave me a slightly different idea, on these blue caves (I forgot what they are called, the ones with the Warden) that these things can be activated with one of these vibration sensors, and fall down.

    Falling Dripstone blocks could be used to make Stalactite structures that are larger than normal stalactites

    I'm not a big fan of the impaling feature, but I really like the idea of a natural trap, maybe we could "defuse" this trap by exploding TNT, unstable dripstone would fall down in a large radius around the explosion because of the vibrations caused by it.
