by MianReplicate

Stop Lightning Destruction of Item keeps lightning strikes from destroying dropped items and held gear on a server.

What it does

When a bolt of lightning hits a player or an item, the strike normally turns the item into a stack of destroyed loot. This mod changes that outcome on the server, so items survive the strike. It is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything and only the server needs the file. The mod targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and has files for 1.20.1 – 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest build, and includes snapshot builds. Published under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, the source code is public, so the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Protects dropped items

    Items on the ground are kept after a lightning strike instead of being destroyed by the bolt.

  2. Protects held items

    Gear a player is holding or carrying is kept when a nearby strike would otherwise smite it.

  3. Server-only installation

    Clients need nothing, so the protection applies to everyone on a server running the mod.
