Straw Beds Should Explode in The Nether

I think the fact that straw beds explode in the Nether is significant. This is because they serve as a key alternative to standard beds and take up less inventory space. It will also increase the importance of straw farms.

    They probably don't want to make nether/end explosives too cheap, since we already can make explosions with just 3 wool and 3 planks.

    I think giving straw beds a chance to explode (let's say 25-33%) could be a good compromise.

    25-33% is probably still too high, considering that you can just grab hay blocks in village in early game + a stack (16) of seldomly explosive straw beds still has more explosions in average than 1 wool bed...

    maybe lower the explosive radius of straw beds, since straw beds are lower than wool beds?

    or maybe just set the position that was occupied by straw beds (or even nearby blocks) on fire?
    like, it succeed to self-ignited itself, but fails to explode, since it doesn't contains the power of respawn???

    There's a community all about Bed PvP that has thousands of players, I'm a high ranked player and staff member and making straw beds explode could be a cool addition to the gameplay.
    I am against making these beds do the same damage and also against the chance of explosion, however, i think moving the explosion value of straw beds down to 2 or 3 (normal beds are 4 for anyone who doesn't know) would be great.
    Adding straw bed explosions but them doing less damage could make Bed PvP gameplay even more diverse and fun.
