Copper can Conduct Lightning

I think that if lightning strikes any form of copper block, the lightning travels down through it and out the bottom. You could use this feature to change pigs to zombified piglins, and villagers into witches, or you could use it as some kind of trap. You could make this much more efficient by using lightning rods to draw in the lightning.

    I had an idea similar to this, where any copper blocks touching a copper block hit by lightning become charged for a second or two and any mobs touching them act as if struck by lightning.

    I feel like it should rather be, that mobs/entities on connected copper blocks should take damage, same as with any copper connected to a lightning rod which is struck by lightning. Could be nerfed by adjusting the radius in which entities are damaged (e.g.: gamerule lightningDamageRadius; [0|255]).

    I think this is a great idea but its should make copper blocks in a small radius 1-3 blocks from a lighting pole conduct the lightning strike dealing damage to nearby entities and lighting nearby blocks on fire.
