Waxed Oxidized Lightning Rod

The Waxed Oxidized Lightning Rod is the final and most aged form of the Lightning Rod, coated with Honeycomb to preserve its fully oxidized teal surface. This waxed variant locks in the vibrant blue-green patina permanently, preventing any further changes caused by oxidation. Functionally, it performs identically to all lightning rod stages—attracting lightning strikes within a 128-block radius in Java Edition (64 in Bedrock Edition) and emitting a redstone pulse of power level 15 for 0.4 seconds when struck.

The Waxed Oxidized Lightning Rod can be placed in any orientation and is waterloggable, allowing it to fit seamlessly into both decorative and technical builds. Its wax coating ensures that it retains its oxidized look indefinitely, though players can scrape off the wax with an axe to allow the oxidation cycle to restart.

With a hardness of 3 and a blast resistance of 6, the Waxed Oxidized Lightning Rod combines functionality and beauty, offering a striking patinated appearance ideal for ancient, mystical, or weathered architectural styles. It is a perfect choice for builders who appreciate the natural evolution of copper but want to freeze its look at the final, most visually distinct stage.
