Minecraft 1.17 Snapshot 20w49a adds Dripstone caves and Sculk Sensors. The Sculk Sensor can detect vibrations in the world, it has frequencies too.

Features:

Added dripstone caves biome.
Added sculk sensors.

Dripstone Caves Biome:

This biome doesn’t generate naturally yet since it is designed for the upcoming larger caves. However, if you want to see the biome in the current caves you can create a single-biome world with dripstone caves.

Contains plenty of pointed dripstone on the floors, ceilings, and small pools of water.
In some places, you’ll find larger stalagmites, stalactites, and columns built from dripstone blocks.

Sculk Sensors:

Introducing the bizarre, tendril-filled world of sculk – prepare for sculk sensors to creep you out with their unique ability to detect vibrations nearby.
A vibration is anything that causes physical motion; if you are careful, there are some motions that are undetectable to sensors by sneaking.
- These sneak-friendly vibrations currently include walking, falling to the ground, or throwing/shooting projectiles.
Sculk sensors will not listen to vibrations that are directly created by other sculk sources.
When a vibration is detected, a signal is sent from the source location to the sensor at a speed of 1 game tick per block.
- Other vibrations cannot be detected by a sensor when a signal is already traveling to it.
- When the signal has arrived, the sensor will be activated for 40 game ticks (approximately 2 seconds).
- While activated, the sensor cannot detect other vibrations.
Sculk sensors can detect vibrations in an 8 block radius around it.
The efficient tool to mine sculk sensors is the hoe.
They can be waterlogged.
