What is Oxidized Lightning Rod in Minecraft?
Oxidized Lightning Rod is a lightning rod that has fully changed to a green patina from long exposure. It still protects builds but now has a blue green finish that stands out on rooftops and ship masts. Oxidized rods are popular in reclaimed docks and seaside bases for both their look and their function.
How to get Oxidized Lightning Rod in Minecraft
To make an Oxidized Lightning Rod you first craft a Lightning Rod with three copper ingots or use an iron variant then place it outside. Leave it exposed to weather for a long time and it will progress through exposed and weathered to the oxidized stage. To speed things up you can expose the rod to rain and time or simply craft and place a rod that has already aged. Waxing with honeycomb freezes the oxidized look so you can preserve it where you want.
