	A '''lightning rod''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that ~~diverts~~ [[Minecraft:lightning]] strikes. Getting struck by lightning causes it to emit a [[Minecraft:redstone signal]] and, if it is not [[Minecraft:waxed]], also reduces its level of [[Minecraft:oxidation]].		A '''lightning rod''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that, with [[Minecraft:sky]] access, causes natural [[Minecraft:lightning]] strikes in a large area to only target itself. Getting struck by lightning causes it to emit a [[Minecraft:redstone signal]] and, if it is not [[Minecraft:waxed]], also reduces its level of [[Minecraft:oxidation]].
