Hey everyone. Pretty new to the forums. Had a really cool idea today playing Minecraft. The game started one of its lightning storm cycles, and, knowing about charged creepers I thought about how cool it would be to encounter one, albeit scary. Then I suddenly thought; wouldn't it be cool if lightning could be beneficial?
Imagine there was a particular block or item you could place that you WANTED to get struck by lightning? Like some kind of a special power source to harness the electricity or a kind of magical item or something? No particular idea what it would do but imagine if it paid off? Players would start placing fields of these things, if they could, to try and harness the lightning, and they would have a reason not to just sleep through every lightning storm if they're somewhere safe. It'd make lightning storms just as exciting as they are scary; something you both want to have and want to avoid for different reasons.
if you kill enough zombies, you could craft their flesh together to create a lifeless zombie. Then, if you connected an experiment table (new block) to this lightning rod and laid the zombie down on it, when lightning struck he would reanimate and follow you around. He would have 3x normal zombie health and fight off other monsters for you.
I'm with Strottinglemon, the idea is that iron and gold (as metals) can carry redstone indefinitely from block to block without needing redstone dust and if struck by lightning, can start a current of their own. Also, lightning should be more likely to strike them than anything else. Although, for this to be very useful, there would have to be some kind of weather device that can either predict or have a chance to affect the weather.

Sounds like a cool idea, might give rotten flesh a use other than disgusting food.

Lightning could be used to make optimum-grade alchemy potions or some such, required to make awesome looking ornamental blocks or extremely high grade metal of some sort.

Yeah I think you guys are on the right path here; some great ideas. I like the ideas about alloys but don't you think that adding more NPCs will get in the way? I find that the villagers/animals push me around and make things rather difficult and having one follow me around (like those goddamn wolves) would be kind of annoying. Maybe I'm alone in this though.

I always find these signatures so cheesy...
