Thunderstorm Notifier
Thunderstorm Notifier sends a Discord message through a webhook each time a thunderstorm starts in Minecraft, so a player can step away from the game and still know when one begins.
What it does
Once a Discord webhook URL is pasted into the mod's config file, the client posts a notice to that channel at the moment a thunderstorm starts in the player's world. The mod is built for players who leave the game idle or go AFK and want a message on a phone or desktop when weather changes. It needs only the Fabric loader and runs entirely on the client, so no server-side installation is involved.
Setup is a single step: paste the webhook URL into the config, then turn the notifications on or off from the Mod Menu screen. The mod is published for Fabric only, in one release for 26.1.2, released as v1.1 on 2026-04-17 after a first version on 2026-04-16. It is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source, although the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Discord webhook alerts

Simple setup
The webhook URL is pasted into the config file, and the mod works from that point with no further input.
Toggle from Mod Menu
Notifications can be switched on or off from the settings screen that Mod Menu opens.
Light resource use
The mod is written to have minimal effect on game performance, so it can run during long idle sessions.

How it compares
What Is He Doing? (Discord Webhook) is released under the MIT License, runs on the client only and is published for Fabric across 1.21.10 – 26.2, so it covers a wider range of versions than Thunderstorm Notifier. Discord Integration is also client-side only, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, with files for 1.20.4 – 1.21.8. DuskAFK is released under the MIT License and serves a different purpose, since it is server-side only and targets 26.2.
