Lightning Mod

Description:

The Lightning Mod enhances your Minecraft experience by increasing the frequency of lightning strikes during thunderstorms.

Features

  • Configurable Lightning Frequency: Adjust the chance of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. Make them incredibly frequent or extremely rare using a simple slider. The lower the value, the more often lightning will strike.
  • Skeleton Horse Control: Modify the spawn chance of the "Skeleton Trap" horses that appear from lightning strikes. You can reduce the chance or disable them completely.
  • All-Biome Lightning: Enable an option to allow lightning to strike in any biome during a thunderstorm, including deserts, savannas, and mesas. No more safe havens from the storm!
  • In-Game Configuration: All settings can be easily changed in-game through the ModMenu settings screen, powered by Cloth Config.
  • Compatibility with Fabric and Paper: Works seamlessly on both Fabric and Paper servers.

updated to 1.21.5-1.21.8
Fixed the weather logic, so the game no longer incorrectly detects rain during clear weather, and storms with visible rain and lightning now correctly occur in all dry biomes.
dedicated server fix
update to 1.21.8

## 2.0


### Added

  • Lightning Frequency Control**: Added a new slider in the config screen to control the frequency of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. Lower values result in more frequent lightning.
  • Skeleton Horse Spawn Control**: Added a new slider to control the spawn chance of Skeleton Horse traps. Users can now reduce the chance from 100% (vanilla) down to 0% (disabled).
  • All-Biome Lightning**: Added a boolean toggle to allow lightning to strike in biomes that are normally "dry" (like deserts, savannas, etc.), as long as a thunderstorm is active in the world.
  • In-Game Configuration**: Created a full in-game configuration screen using Cloth Config, accessible via Mod Menu.

### Changed

  • The configuration is now managed through lightningmod.json instead of requiring manual edits.
  • Improved user experience by using sliders for numeric values instead of simple text fields.
