FabricServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.9 – 1.21.11

What it does

Copper helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots raise the chance that a lightning bolt strikes the wearer, much as a lightning rod draws strikes to nearby blocks. The armor pieces that count are defined in the armor tag for lightning rods. Players wearing the set are struck more often, and the mod shows this with occasional sparkle particles. It requires Fabric API, runs on the server with clients optional, and is published for Fabric only across 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Copper armor draws lightning

    Each copper armor piece raises the odds that a storm strikes the person wearing it.

  2. Configurable armor list

    The armor pieces that attract lightning are set in a tag, with copper helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots as defaults.

  3. Sparkle particles

    Entities that have been struck more often occasionally sparkle with particles, making the effect visible in play.
