Stormfest
by sydist
Stormfest adds an Enchanted Music Disc that drops when a charged creeper kills a stray skeleton, and the disc can start a thunderstorm.
What it does
The disc is an item from the Adventure category, built around a storm effect. Playing it begins a thunderstorm in the world and uses up the disc's mystical power, so it can only summon the weather once. After that the disc behaves like any other music disc and plays normally in a jukebox.
Stormfest is open source under the MIT License and needs Fabric API installed alongside it. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric only, covering 1.17 – 1.20.1 across ten release versions, and the latest file is v2.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2023-06-29.
Key features
Storm-summoning disc
Playing the Enchanted Music Disc starts a thunderstorm, and the disc is spent in the process.
Creeper drops
The disc is dropped when a charged creeper kills a stray skeleton, so it is found through a specific encounter.
Ordinary music disc afterwards
Once its storm power is used up, the disc plays like any other record in a jukebox.
Concept music and artwork
The mod includes its own music and artwork for the disc, presented as part of the design.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Fabric players who run adventure servers and want a rare item tied to a creature encounter. The server requires the mod, while players can join without it.
How it compares
Ember Disc works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 and is server required with client optional, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. More Discs is a Fabric and NeoForge build for 1.21.8 with a client and server environment, also under All rights reserved. Tiny Skeletons is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 26.3, and needs both client and server.
