I was just thinking, would some alarm blocks for Minecraft be a good idea.
Currently, you can just have a bunch of doors flipping open and closed, but
as loud as it is, the sound decays over a very short distance due to Minecraft's
sound engine. Not only that, but it's an incredibly annoying sound. It also
lacks that sort of...I don't know, feeling you get when you hear an industrial
alarm or siren going off. So, why not add some alarm blocks?
First is the siren, which isn't particularly loud, but the sound would be coded
to decay much more slowly, so you could hear it over a long distance, up to 78
blocks away. It would be crafted like a golden tube containing a redstone block and
a note block. It would probably be used to alert citizens of a town when an enemy
army is invading, or if a wither is nearby or some other event. As an added bonus,
any villagers in range of the siren would automatically go into their houses and
stay inside until the siren stops (when no more power is applied to it, of course).
Whether you can think of a practical use for that is up to you.
Second is the alarm block, which is a bit louder and decayes over a 35 block
radius, due to being a higher-pitched noise. It sounds like the generic "bwaaaaaaaap........bwaaaaaaaap"
alarm that you always hear in movies and games. It could be used to signal an intrustion in your base, or
it could be powered as soon as you hit a self-destruct button in your base, just incase someone
decides that self-destructing your base with you, your friends and your pets still in it is "funny".
True, I suppose it wouldn't have a terrible ammount of functionality in singleplayer.
However, I myself believe that Mojang should do a bit more work with more multiplayer-centered
content, since multiplayer is a major part of the Minecraft experience.

True, it's just they don't really like things that are only good for multiplayer and not single player.
