Waxed Lightning Rod block in Minecraft

Added in 1.21.9 Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least stone Stack size: 64

The Waxed Lightning Rod is waxed, frozen in time. 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. All stages work alike; the Lightning Rod page is the fresh one.

It is made with the Crafting Table from Lightning Rod and Honeycomb. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier stone).
