CoffeeG's Awful Lightning
by ScadeBlock
CoffeeG's Awful Lightning makes lightning strikes more frequent during rain, and it adds a set of combat and movement mechanics that change how a player survives a storm and fights mobs.
What it does
Lightning strikes occur only while it is raining, and players who are struck more often meet surprising deaths from the bolts. Server owners can switch the lightning setting on or off with a scoreboard command, which the author notes works only on Minecraft 1.15 and later. The default state is off until a server enables it.
The mod also changes mob behavior and adds abilities to the player. Zombies can place and break blocks and throw TNT, skeletons, creepers, ghasts, spiders and phantoms gain new abilities, and new mini bosses appear. A brutal difficulty mode is included for Minecraft set to the insane setting.
It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out of their installs. Files cover 1.14 – 1.21.1, and the latest build is 2.1+mod for 1.21.1, released under All rights reserved. The code is not open source. A public issue tracker is available.
Key features
Frequent lightning in rain
Lightning strikes are more common during rain, and struck players meet unexpected deaths from the bolts.
Double jump and wall climb
Sneaking triggers a double jump leap, and players can climb walls and jump off them.
Adrenaline rush
A second chance triggers at low health, so a fatal fall leaves the player at half a heart instead of dying.
Snowballs that slow mobs
Snowballs slow the mobs they hit, giving players a way to control fights.
Enhanced mobs and mini bosses
Zombies throw TNT and build or break blocks, and several common mobs gain new abilities alongside new mini bosses.
