Arda's Special Abilities
by Ixra
Arda's Special Abilities gives players five key-activated powers: a lightning strike, a teleport, a fireball, a dragon ball, a spawned TNT block and a falling anvil.
What it does
Each ability is bound to a key in the controls menu and fires at the spot the player is looking at or in the direction they face. The lightning ability strikes a bolt at the targeted location, the teleport ability moves the player instantly to the block under the crosshair, and the fireball ability launches a fireball along the facing direction. The dragon ball ability fires an explosive projectile toward a target, the TNT ability places an ignited TNT block where the player aims, and the falling anvil ability drops an anvil from the sky above the targeted position.
The mod is aimed at players who want simple key-based abilities without typing commands or using external tools, and at creative testers who need quick effects. Abilities have cooldowns, costs and requirements by default, but these can be changed. The mod adds no items, blocks or ores to the world, so a game stays clean. Installation needs Forge on 1.20.1 or NeoForge on 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Lightning strike
A key sends a lightning bolt onto the location the player is looking at.

The teleport ability moves the player to the block entity under the crosshair in one step.
Fireball and dragon ball
One ability launches a fireball in the facing direction, and another fires an explosive projectile toward a target.
Spawned TNT and falling anvil
Ignited TNT can be placed on a chosen block, and an anvil can be dropped from the sky above the aimed spot.
Cooldowns and costs
Each ability has a cooldown, a cost and a requirement by default, which limits how often it can be used.
