Totem of the Storm
by hijinks001
Totem of the Storm adds a three-block Storm Totem that a player activates with a Storm Flint to call down lightning and grant a speed and jump boost.
What it does
The mod adds a structure called the Storm Totem, built from two Storm Blocks stacked on a Rod. Once the totem is built, activating it with a Storm Flint summons lightning strikes, shows lightning particles, and plays thunder sound, while the player receives a Speed and Jump Boost effect. Crops and other built things are not part of the effect list in the author notes. The mod is for Forge and runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Files are published for Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Public links exist for the source code. The author describes it as a first project made over a few days with tutorials and AI help, and mentions that it has had little testing, so bugs are possible. Feedback and bug reports are requested through the issue tracker of the public source code.

How it compares
Apple Totem is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server, under All rights reserved and not open source. Wither Storm Control is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is server required with the client optional, also under All rights reserved. Bracelet and Must Die Totem/必死图腾 are both Forge mods for 1.20.1 that run on client and server, each under All rights reserved and not open source, while Electro's Command Block Tools - CWM Addon is another Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same environment and license. Totem of the Storm covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 instead, so it reaches later builds than these options.

This is my first mod! I'm just learning Java and Minecraft modding. Please don't judge too harshly! This mod adds a Storm Totem — a structure that summons lightning and gives buffs when activated. Made by following tutorials, trial and error, with tons of mistakes along the way.
