This module adds lightning rods that can summon lightning bolts.  


== Details ==
== Features ==
Throwing a lightning rod on the ground will initiate a countdown of approximately 3 seconds. The time until the rod attracts lightning is displayed above it, and particles are emitted from the rod. During this time, the rod can be picked up again to cancel the countdown. Once the countdown has reached zero, a bolt of lightning is summoned at it's location and the item is destroyed.

Dropping a lightning rod onto a purpur block, will turn it into a Shulker upon the lightning strike. Dropping a lightning rod onto a creeper spawner will convert it into a charged creeper spawner.
 
=== Technical Summary ===
The rod will only start counting down once it touches the floor. Multiple rods stacked together will not count down.
 
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.

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.
