Add the Sculk Jaw back into Minecraft!

I liked the idea of the Sculk Jaw because it really adds to the creepiness factor of the Deep Dark, it could make the Sculk Growths more dangerous and also more disturbing!

What if the Sculk Growths EAT BATS? They could use the Sculk Jaw to lure in any flying bats after detecting them with their Sculk Sensors, get them closer into it, and suddenly SNAP! The teeth instantly kill the bat, feeding the growth!

And how could the Sculk Jaw help with the Warden? It could act as a regular Sculk Block at first, but then when a player goes over it, it suddenly lets you fall through it into it's teeth, SNAP... it forces the teeth on you, trapping you in it while using the Sculk Shriekers to alert a Warden that it found prey, YOU'RE that prey!
To escape the Sculk Jaw, you'll have to try to destroy that block quickly, but it'll work like trying to break blocks in the air!

This is a REALLY good opportunity with the Sculk Growths you're missing out on, guys!

    I think that after a few seconds of time when your caught in the sculk jaw, it should release you. The purpose of this block would be to avoid it so you wouldn't get caught in it while sneaking away or alert other sculk sensors around.

    This block could do a heart of damage when it "bites" you and make a boney or hard chomp sound when it catches. When it releases, it could sound like white bone-like material of the sculk retracting. Of course when it breaks, it drops experience unless its broken by silk touch. A random idea--in order for this block to "bite", maybe it would need to touch at least one sculk block of any type.

    Another random idea but--every time it bites a player, it could take away some experience and that experience can be harvested when the block is destroyed. Maybe the reintroduction of this block will give the players a reminder that this is not a friendly family living in the caves, rather a hostile one you should be careful of.
