MC-121134Lightning bolts are invisible from ~150+ blocks above their target
Lightning bolts can not be seen from higher than about 150 blocks above the block they hit. For example if a lightning bolt hits 0 64 0, it's not visible from above y=221.
Best to reproduce with a repeating command block with the command summon lightning_bolt in it.
Created Issue:
Lightning bolts are invisible above height ~120
Lightning bolts can not be seen from above a height around y=120.

Able to confirm.
Found that it will disappear at a height >130
Actually, it's 64 blocks above the target, I just tested that.
Some entities got a shorter render distance than others, which leads e.g. to MC-90683.
The less entities are rendered, the less lag of course, but in the cases of lightning bolts, unless it'd cause any horrendous lag issues, I'd be totally voting for using up to the whole build height, for more realism and thus logic, or let's say: Until the lightning bolt hits a solid block?
Confirmed for 1.13.1.
For some reason the range increased, but is still not infinite. It seems to depend on the height of the source now, but the distance is always roughly 150 blocks, sometimes closer to 160.
