Question: how rare is it to get struck by lightning in minecraft?
Answer: Lightning may randomly spawn a "Skeleton Trap" Horse with a chance of 0.75–1.5% chance on Easy, 1.5–4% on Normal, and 2.8125–6.75% on Hard, depending on the regional difficulty. A player triggers the trap by moving within 10 blocks of the horse, whereupon the horse transforms into four skeletal horsemen.
