Talk:Lightning Rod

It says Java edition, but won't it be in bedrock too?
At the top it states that it will be added to Java edition only, but I was under impression that it would be added to all editions in 1.17 Am I misunderstanding something? NotRobotForSure (talk) 22:08, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Will be, but isn't yet. The wiki doesn't do documentatiom regarding the behavior in an edition it isn't in yet. Dhranios (talk) 22:16, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Lighting rods DO redirect thunders!
In BE when given a trident with Channeling and struck a mob with it by throwing the trident the lighting will prefer the lighting rod. As opposed to the statement written in the page. It may considered a bug... but no one reported it yet. IMO I consider it a feature but you may disagree (tbh it's kinda broken) Unrelated but lighting rods cannot be waterlogged (in BE). 190.164.106.114 17:50, 20 February 2021 (UTC) (Diego Jp)

Java Protection Radius
So I'm pretty sure that Java lightning rods provide significantly more protection than advertised. I ran an experiment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/oanr1u/psa_lightning_rods_provide_over_120_blocks_of/

I don't have the exact numbers and thus I don't feel comfortable editing the Wiki page but I'm very sure 32x4x32 is incorrect and worth investigating by somebody smarter than me.


 * After testing in game, Java range appears to be a sphere, with radius 128 blocks. Where did 32x4x32 come from anyway? SamJNE (talk) 14:28, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

render of LRod on head
In the page it talks about how they render when using. Considering we have pretty much every other 'special' item on heads as a render, could someone render this? -FezEmerald Talk to meSee what I've been up to  00:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
