CanLightningDoFire?
by RodoFire
CanLightningDoFire adds a game rule that stops lightning bolts from starting fires during thunderstorms.
What it does
A new game rule, lightningDoFire, controls whether lightning bolts ignite blocks. Setting it to false keeps lightning from starting fires, which protects builds from being burned down during a storm, while true leaves the vanilla behaviour in place. It is distinct from the vanilla doFireTick rule, which does not stop fire from lightning.
The mod is server-side only, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License as open source. Files cover game versions 1.20 – 1.21.3 for Fabric and Quilt.
Key features
Lightning fire toggle
A game rule turns fire from lightning bolts off, so storms no longer set blocks alight.
Vanilla behaviour kept
With the rule set to true, lightning still creates fire as it does in vanilla.
Separate from doFireTick
The rule does not change the doFireTick setting, so ordinary fire spread can stay active.
