Usage
Lightning rods can be oriented in different directions. Lightning rods redirect lightning strikes within an area of 32×4×32 blocks to the top of the rod, which can prevent flammable structures from catching on fire during thunderstorms. Lightning rods do not divert the lightning created by a trident enchanted with Channeling thrown at an entity during a thunderstorm, or the lightning summoned by commands.
A lighting rod emits a redstone signal when struck by lightning. A trident with Channeling can be thrown at a lightning rod to create lightning, but no redstone signal is emitted this way.[1]

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.
== Usage ==
The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.
A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].
It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].
