I searched before this, found nothing exactly like it, not even too close to it.
-Main Idea-
Lightning, is a force of nature that happens in Minecraft during a thunderstorm. It electrocutes creepers, rapes pigs, and destroys your perfectly made house out of nothing but wood and wool.
Where are the positives?!
I have an idea :ohmy.gif:
So, we mostly all use coal to use as power. Lightning, believe it or not, is actually a viable source of energy for some people.
-So what is it?-
My proposition is for not a lightning rod to be made but for a lightning block. For each lightning block you stack on top of each other, and the higher it is, the higher chance you have of collecting lightning.
A lightning "collector" is crafted as;
(The redshroom is redstone, and the Iron ore is an iron block.)
Once you place the lightning collector, once a thunder storm comes along every time a lightning strikes within a 20x20 area of your lightning collector it has a 30 percent chance of picking up the lightning.
How do you transport the lightning?
Redstone wires.
Connect a redstone wire to the collector and wire it up to a furnace! One lightning strike fills up the collector a quarter of the way, and a full collector can smelt 200 ores. So one quarter would end up smelting 50 ores, not too bad.
-Use as a trap-
You can also potentially use a collector as a trap. If your collector is full and you attach a redstone current that is attached to a lever or some kind of on/off mechanism, once you pull the lever or the button/whatever the collector will send a 3x3 jolt of electricity to the front of it wherever its facing (fatal), but it will take up all of the lightning so:
(iron = collector, yellow wool = area electrocuted.)

If you helped anyone, I will +1 your post, especially if the person you helped didn't.
There aren't. Go grow up before you post in public.
It was relevant to previous posts. And they're called creepers.
And of course you love it. It's your idea, Einstein.
Harnessing lightning: Yes. This way of doing it: Meh.
