As Ithilion said, it could be used as a powerful counter-measure against Wardens, Rangers, etc. This seems too powerful for a pinecone. I would suggest pinecone blocks to be like leaves and without the buffs. I don’t think it really is too powerful. Like I said, Rangers would avoid them because of their tendency for stealth, but they will walk across them if they need to. Pinecone blocks just have the annoying property of making your presence known to those around you. Most of the time that isn’t going to be a big enough strategic advantage for players to want pinecones instead of, say, stabbing thorns for fort defense. It’s just to make it a little more realistic if you are sneaking around and don’t want to be seen. It really wouldn’t be a big hindrance for Rangers - the only major effect it would do is not let them hide if they accidentally step on them, which is realistic. Also, like I said, they would be small enough that you could walk between them even if they were placed on every single block - so they do not form an uncrossable line.
