                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Just a while ago, I was just in my house, when suddenly,  I was stuck by lightning THOUGH the ceiling. I mean...why?&lt;/p&gt;

                            <comment id="520999" author="handlbar.rick@comcast.net" created="Fri, 22 Feb 2019 04:03:20 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;From the &lt;a href=&quot;https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360024285231-Minecraft-Beta-1-11-0-1-Xbox-One-Windows-10-Android-&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;1.11.0.1 Beta Changelog&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Lightning no longer has a downward area of effect when hitting blocks, so will no longer strike mobs sheltering underneath blocks&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe this fix will resolve this issue, though the changelog doesn&apos;t refer to it specifically.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="512640" author="handlbar.rick@comcast.net" created="Wed, 16 Jan 2019 05:54:16 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Still affects 1.8.1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(Edited because I was wrong.)&lt;br/&gt;
Lightning does not go through glass, slabs, or stairs, but it will damage any mob or player within 3 blocks (including diagonally and vertically) of the place where it hits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To protect a player or mob from lightning, the 7 x 7 area around it must have a ceiling at least 3 blocks above it. For players and 2-tall mobs, this means at least 3 blocks above its head, not the block it is standing in. The &quot;ceiling&quot; does not have to be flat; the individual blocks composing it could be at any height as long as they are at least 3 blocks above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note that this bug means a player or mob within a low cave just below the surface can be struck by lighting despite not being exposed to the sky at all.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="474526" author="xineyz" created="Sat, 21 Jul 2018 20:57:26 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I think it&apos;s worth noting that the lightning does not go through the ceiling (it does hits the block with sky access), and what&apos;s happening is that the lightning splash effect can reach below the targeted block (within 3 blocks under where the lightning bolt hits). If that&apos;s supposed to happen then there is nothing wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To do the test yourself, just simply use the following commands:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hits the player: /summon lightning_bolt ~ ~+4 ~&lt;br/&gt;
Doesn&apos;t hit the player:&#160;/summon lightning_bolt ~ ~+5 ~&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="452138" author="jgallo600" created="Sun, 13 May 2018 04:58:51 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I am on Bedrock v1.2.13 and can say that this seems to still be an issue as of May2018. I have trading hall and iron farm with a bunch of villagers lined up in 1x1 cells. They all have glass over them and the walkway in front has half slabs of cobble above. BUT I came in to find that 4 sequentially in line villagers in their 1x1 cells had been turned into witches. The only way I can think this happened is that lightning came through the ceiling of slabs or glass+slabs and struck them.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="367699" author="liammines" created="Tue, 14 Feb 2017 22:55:42 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Would just like to note that this has occurred for me as well. It does not seem to matter what block type it is. I have been struck through my ceilings in areas of glass, planks, cobblestone and tree trunks. iOS 10.2.1 latest available game release at time of writing.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
