Lightning Rod block in Minecraft
The Lightning Rod is the fresh, orange stage. A lightning rod attracts lightning strikes nearby and gives a redstone signal when hit, protecting flammable builds. Copper ages in four stages, from orange to green, unless you wax it with a honeycomb; an axe scrapes off one stage or the wax.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 3 × Copper Ingot. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier stone).
