 Description   

I don't know if it's because of this bug report I made earlier on (MCPE-16931), but ever since the 1.0 beta, no signs of any skeleton traps have occurred during thunderstorms (no matter the difficulty).

I was about to log a bug and saw this. I have not seen any skeleton horses spawn or anything hit by lightening for many releases now - probably the beginning of the year about the time that this bug was created. I know that Adrian says that it is working but I have seen nothing, nada, for months and I played a lot when I was bed ridden!

Skeleton traps are still spawning and are spawning with the intended spawn rate: The chance of trap horses spawning during thunderstorm lightning strikes is reduced to an 0.75–1.5% chance on Easy, 1.5–4% on Normal, and 2.8125–6.75% on Hard, depending on regional difficulty.

I can also confirm this. I've observed a few horses struck by lighting, they only take damage showing that they're on fire. The transforming from regular horse to skeleton horse never happens and skeleton jockeys don't spawn either. My game difficulty is on hard.

You think I haven't tried? I've looked everywhere within sight, I've even tried all 3 world types, on "Hard" difficulty as well.

Skeleton Traps have a rare occurance to spawn within your area during thunderstorms. These Skeleton Traps may be hit by a thunder far within your current area. How about if you do this,after a thunderstorm,try to explore your world and maybe you can find a Skeleton Horse without any Skeletons. (If you slept until the day.) Minecraft pros does hard work to find rare things.
