Homura Lightning Enchantment
by Akemi0Homura
Homura Lightning Enchantment gives weapons a lightning effect that deals extra damage and ignites the target on each hit.
What it does
The enchantment is added to the game through Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it can be obtained from the enchanting table, from villager trades, from fishing and as a loot find. On each attack, the weapon adds one level of lightning damage to the hit, and the target catches fire for one second. Because the bonus lands in the final damage step, a hit cooldown does not prevent it from applying. The enchantment works alongside the vanilla Looting enchantment.
The lightning strike itself is only visual. It does not destroy mob drops and does not set the player on fire. Because the burn lasts only a second, a target rarely sets the player alight during real combat. Animals killed while burning drop cooked food instead of raw meat. The mod is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Files target only Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest Forge build is 1.0.0, released on 2026-01-11. Players and server owners install it on both sides, because the environment is client and server.
Key features
Lightning damage on hit
Each attack with an enchanted weapon adds one level of lightning damage to the target.
Short ignition
A struck target is set on fire for one second, which is enough to add pressure without threatening the player.
Cooked drops from burning animals
Animals killed while burning drop cooked food rather than raw meat.
Cosmetic lightning strike
The lightning bolt is a visual effect only, so it leaves drops and terrain untouched.

How it compares
Lightning Abilities is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with a MIT License and a client and server environment. Mystical Enchantments covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, and Elemental Witches Reborn is a 1.20.1 Forge option with the same environment under All rights reserved. Homura Lightning Enchantment differs from these by being open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and by being an enchantment rather than a set of abilities.
