Thunder Detector

by StarmanMine142

Thunder Detector opens a notification window each time a thunderstorm begins, so players who rarely see lightning are told when it starts.

What it does

When a thunderstorm begins in the world, a new window appears showing details about the event. The author built it for a playing server where lightning and thunder occurred rarely, and wanted no storm to pass unnoticed. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers run without it. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 26.1.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Storm start window

    A new window appears with information about the thunderstorm at the moment it begins.

  2. Rare event alerts

    Players who seldom see lightning get a prompt each time a storm starts, instead of relying on chance.

  3. Source code available

    The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the MIT License.

How it compares

Full comparison

RainBeThunder is open source under the MIT License, published for Fabric and Quilt across 1.18 – 1.21.8, and it needs to be on the server while clients may leave it out. LightningMod is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3, and it runs on the server alone. Thunder Detector is client-side only, so the choice depends on where a player wants the mod to run.
