Lightning is a bit picky with what it strikes and you can control where it strikes.

Lightning will strike the topmost block at a coordinate, and is attracted to some blocks and deterred by others

When lightning strike it will pick an XZ coordinate to strike. Then it will scan a (presumably) 65x65 area centered on that coordinate and strike the greatest weight block.

The weight of a block for lightning to strike it is its conductivity plus Y height minus its distance from the center block plus an offset of 0-10.

You can change the color of fireflies by breaking a jar of them in a biome with different native color. Example: break a jar of orange fireflies in a glacier biome at night. Wait a few seconds for them to change to blue then catch them again with a jar. You can also get an exclusive color this way if you do it in a world where only the undead trive....

Here are some typing and inventory managements things that are nice to know.

While in the chat or a search box you can use:

ctrl + left/right arrow to move the cursor the length of a word
home to move the cursor to the start of the line
end to move the cursor to the end of the line
up/down arrow to go through previously typed messages

The chat window can also be scrolled if it gets too long!

While in the inventory you can use:

ctrl + click to move one of an item (or take one of an item from the creative menu)
alt + click to move a stack of items into the crafting grid, workbench, or creative menu
shift + ctrl + click to move all same items into a storage
ctrl + q to throw a stack straight from the slot
ctrl + click on the creative menu buttons to turn 10 pages at once
right click on the creative menu search box to clear the box
shift + click on the X next to the search box to clear your inventory

Lot to know... but honestly I just hold shift + ctrl + alt and click and pray
