This module adds lightning rods that can summon lightning bolts.

Features

Throwing a lightning rod on the ground starts a countdown until lightning will strike. The time until lightning strikes is displayed above the rod. The countdown can be cancelled by picking up the lightning rod. Once the countdown reaches zero, a bolt of lightning is summoned, consuming the item.

If there is more than one item in a stack of lightning rods, an error will be displayed above the lightning rod and the countdown will stop. This prevents dying with multiple lightning rods in your inventory from summoning lightning and destroying all your items, but dying with a single lightning rod in your inventory will.

Crafting

Lightning rods can be crafted in a Custom Crafter with blaze powder surrounding a stick.

Special Effects

Shulkers

Striking a purpur block with lightning will transform it into a Shulker. These shulkers drop shulker shells less often than naturally occurring shulkers.

Creeper Spawners

Striking a creeper spawner with lightning changes the spawner into a charged creeper spawner.

Technical Details

The rod will only start counting down once it touches the floor.

When a shulker is created with lightning rods, it will have a 1/10 chance to drop a shulker shell upon death. Looting does not affect this drop rate.

-=== MC 1.8 Version ===
-The MC 1.8 Version (v1.0) did not have achievements. Additionally, Shulkers were not in the game, thus could not be created by striking a purpur block. In this version, lightning rods would turn a Creeper Spawner into a Charged Creeper Spawner if dropped directly onto the spawner.
-=== MC 1.9-12. Versions ===
+{{Modules List/Custom Crafters}}
-In the MC 1.9-1.12 versions (v2.0-2.2), the advancements were actually a simulated achievement, using tellraw to show the message. This has been transferred to advancements upon the release of the 1.13 version (unreleased).
