Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Lightning rod powered spark gaps.

It would make sense and be a reasonable, interesting, and useful effect if whenever a lightning rod was hit by lightning then unless grounded any hollow cavities immediately beneath in uninsulated contact with iron, copper, redstone, or even the lightning rod itself on top would be bridged by that same lightning effectively creating a spark gap. Insulation would include nonmetallic and non-redstone blocks. All grounding the lightning rod means is that there is at least one conductive pathway from the lightning rod into the ground. All of this basically means that if lightning strikes a house topped with an ungrounded lightning rod and there is a metallic bridge from the lighting rod into the interior of the house the lightning will pass through it into the house to strike the floor. In order to place a logical limit on this lightning should also only be able to pass through a small number of spark gaps before dissipating.
