The Minecraft Lightning Rod is the best way to redirect lightning, which is not only handy if you'd like to protect a wooden 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft house, but also if you want to save your Villagers from turning into Witches. Keep in mind that the Minecraft Lightning Rod won't turn you into a thunder god; it doesn't spa🍷wn lightning, it only redirects incoming bolts.

Whether you're looking to de-oxidize your Copper or direct the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft lightning to a specific l﷽ocation, here's how to craft the Minecraft Lightning Rod and how to use it.

How to use the Lightning Rod in Minecraft

The Minecraft Lightning Rod can protect your wooden house from lightning strikes, but that’s definitely not the only use of 🃏the Lightning Rod in Minecraft. Here are some example💝s of its other functions: 

1. Prevent mobs from transitioning into something more dangerous. For example, a villager struck by lightning turns into a witch. 
2. Create mobs on purpose (and collecting their drops). Just put a pig in a tiny space with a Lightning Rod in the middle, and wait for it to be struck. It’s a bit mean, but effective.
3. Remove oxidation from copper blocks. Just place the Lightning Rod on top of the copper and wait until it gets hit; the greenish color will disappear.
4. The Lightning Rod sends a redstone signal when it’s struck by lightning, which means you can use it in a redstone circuit.

On top of that, watching redirected lightning strikes is also quite spectacular - especially if you're using the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Minecraft shaders.

A Minecraft Lightning Rod will divert lightning strikes, making it hit the rod instead of any other blocks surrounding it. In Minecraft Java Edition, the area covered by the Lightning Rod has a radius of 128 blocks. In Bedrock edition, it’s 64 blocks. You should mount it on a block that isn't flammable, s🥃uch as stone, otherwise the base and other nearby flammable blocks could be ignited by a strike.

Naturally, a Lightning Rod won’t do anything during clear weather or normal rain. If you don't want to wait for a thunderstorm, you can change the weather using 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft cheats. You can tell the difference between normal rain and a thunderstorm by looking at the Lightning Rod: if it emits tiny white sparkle𝓀s, lightning strikes are coming so get ready!

You can always remove your Lightning Rod and place it elsewhere, but make sure to use a stone or better quality pickaxe to remove a Lightn𝔉ing Rod, otherwise it won’t drop anything.

Minecraft Lightning Rods are a handy tool, but you can get more handy tools by mastering 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft enchantments.
