Minecraft:Sculk Sensor

Vibration frequencies of many actions in the game have been tweaked and greatly simplified to prevent unwanted interference, as following:

Action	Frequency Value
Movement in any medium (land, water and air)	1
Landing on any surface (land or water)	2
Item interactions	3
Gliding with an elytra or unique mob actions (Ravager roar, Wolf shaking, etc)	4
Dismounting a mob or equipping gear	5
Mounting a mob or interacting with a mob	6
Mobs and players getting damaged	7
Consuming items (drinking and eating)	8
Blocks 'deactivating' (door close, chest close, button unpress, etc)	9
Blocks 'activating' (door open, chest open, button press, etc)	10
Blocks changing (cauldron water level rising, adding food to campfire, etc)	11
Blocks being destroyed	12
Blocks being placed	13
Mobs and players teleporting or spawning	14
Mobs and players dying or an explosion	15

Sculk Sensors now have three phases: Inactive, Active, and Cooldown
The default phase is Inactive
- This phase lasts indefinitely until the block receives a vibration
- During this phase, the block is able to listen to nearby vibrations until one has been scheduled
When a scheduled vibration is received, the block switches to the Active phase
- This phase lasts 30 game ticks for Sculk Sensors, and 10 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- During this phase, the block stops listening to nearby vibrations, wiggles its tendrils, and emits a Redstone signal and light
After the Active phase has finished, the block switches to a Cooldown phase
- This phase lasts for 10 game ticks
- During this phase, the block keeps wiggling its tendrils, but no longer emits a Redstone signal nor light
- Finally, once this phase is finished, the block will switch back to the Inactive phase
Previously, these phases had different timings:
- The Active phase lasted 40 game ticks for Sculk Sensors and 20 game ticks for Calibrated Sculk Sensors
- There was no Cooldown phase
These phase timings were tweaked so that it is less common for activated contraptions to recursively activate the Sculk Sensor that powered them.
