Sounds interesting, but, the use case is probably a bit small.

I would like an antenna-looking (or dish) block, that would transfer wi-fi
at a range of 500 maybe, less during storm and maybe attract lightnings!

It's just esthetic, nothing else...

@gjgfuj It's, as I said esthetic and I leave the creator's will to make evil things on it...

Does it work (transfer WIFI, attract lightning) or is it aesthetic (purely decorative, doesn't do anything)?
You have to chose one, an aesthetic block that works is a paradox. It's either aesthetic, or it works. Mutually exclusive.

Well no, aesthetics and working aren't mutually exclusive. What I'm saying
is that transferring WiFi is sorta unnecessary.

Sooo... basically you want a model for the Access Point that also attracts lightning? Ehh... make it an addon :P Feels like there's too much overlap with the Access Point, really.

Does... @fnuecke you don't like to make new things, you would only upgrade/fix them :/
Not everyone out here can make an addon, and update it you know...

Replace "new things..." with "things that have too much overlap with existing features, when I could instead be working on something more interesting (to me)", then yes, you're absolutely right ;-)

@SeniorFight Suggestion: Use a 3d printed block if you just want it for esthetic reasons.
Otherwise use computers as repeaters to have a longer range.
