Suggestion Lightning suggestion

So, last time I thought of something. Wouldn’t it make sense that if you hit a creeper with lightning, it would turn into a charged creeper? I don’t know if this feature is already inplemented. If not, it would be really cool to add it!

I'm not sure that there's a method you could use to charge a creeper... I guess you MIGHT be able to remove the targeted creeper and maybe spawn a new one with a charged ID (if there is one). But this is all hypothetical as I haven't dealt with charging creepers before.

Okay so I've quickly looked into it and I'm pretty sure this is how you would set a creeper as charged (without spawning a new one, just editing the state of the one you've striked).
Java:
if (entity instanceof Creeper) {
                            Creeper creepTarget = (Creeper) entity;
                            creepTarget.setPowered(true);
                        }

What you do is check for entities around the location of the lightning bolt. What the provided code does is check if a target that came into contact with the bolt is a creeper. If it is, then we set the creeper to charged (in the code it's called powered).

I understand this wasn't asking for code help but figured I'd share what I found lol

It could be neat, but I often find it much cooler to encounter a charged creeper when they can only be found rarely due to natural lightning. It also makes heads quite a special trophy.
 
That wouldn't stop you from choosing though. Might be a problem If you don't want others, but a config option would solve that.

What meskenasboii said. And i think that there ARE people who would find it cool.
