A datapack I made from an idea on the r/minecraftcommands Discord server.

This datapack allows you to capture lightning in a box. To do this, you will need a Bee Hive and a Block of Gold. Throw the Block of Gold onto the Bee Hive and wait for it to be struck by lightning. You can tell if it has lightning if there is "lightning" coming out of the front of the box. There are now 4 things you can do with it:

- Pick it up with a Silk Touch tool
- Collect the lightning with a bottle
- Break it to release the lightning
- Shear it to release the lightning

Once picked up, it can be placed back down again with no issues. All of the above can still work.
