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.

Multiple lightning rods in a stack will not strike lightning

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.
