Lightning is an effect spawned naturally during thunderstorms. It causes a flash and a bolt of lightning. The bolt of lightning connects from the cloud layer to the surface of the world. This causes damage to nearby mobs.
Lightning can be spawned via the lightning command.
Alternatively, a thunderstorm can be triggered using the /weather set thunder command.
In 1.28, Lightning also seems to be able to pass through the roof of a shelter when it strikes.
Trivia
- Hostile mobs can spawn in thunderstorms even in the day.
- Ambient lightning can be seen while traveling in the nether.
- Since lightning can pass through the roof of a shelter in 1.28, it's best to stay underground, since hostile mobs can spawn during a thunderstorm, and lightning has a lower chance of hitting you.
- Strangely, the yellow bolt of lightning can sometimes be seen when underground, but rarely seems to hit.
