Any Weather Channeling (AWC)
by Riyuki
Any Weather Channeling changes when the Channeling enchantment's trident lightning strikes, letting a datapack set the chance during rain and thunderstorms.
What it does
Vanilla Channeling only summons lightning during thunderstorms, which can mean a long wait before a trident works. Any Weather Channeling is a datapack solution that lets server owners set the odds of lightning appearing in each weather type. Lightning can be made to appear during rain with a small chance, and during thunderstorms with a fixed chance of 100 percent, and the values are customizable.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack listed as a server platform. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Files cover 1.19 – 1.21 across five release versions, and the latest file is 3.0+mod for 1.21. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved. The author notes that later releases have not been tested yet.
Key features
Configurable lightning chance
Server owners can set how often Channeling summons lightning in rain, clear weather and thunderstorms.
Rain lightning
Channeling can summon lightning during rain with a configurable chance, so a trident does not depend on a thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm strikes
During thunderstorms the chance can be set to 100 percent, which matches vanilla behavior for that weather.
Data pack delivery
The settings ship as a data pack, so no code change is needed to adjust the odds.

Use cases
Survival servers with rare storms
A server where thunderstorms are uncommon can allow Channeling during plain rain, so tridents remain usable between storms.
Custom progression
Server owners who want Channeling to be less reliable or more reliable can tune the rain and clear-weather values to suit their world.
Who it’s for: Server owners and pack makers who want to change how the Channeling enchantment depends on weather. Players on a server that runs the data pack need no extra install.
