About this project
What does Heavy Storms add?

Heavy Storms
Heavy Storms amplifies thunderstorms and introduces a Forge Energy compatible Lightning Capacitor block for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge and 1.20.1 on Forge.
Features
- Spawns additional lightning strikes around players during thunderstorms with configurable frequency and radius.
- Adds the Lightning Capacitor block that gains FE from real lightning strikes. (no lighting rod required)
- Exposes Forge Energy via the standard Forge capability system so automation mods (e.g., Mekanism universal cables or any other FE power managment system) can interact with the capacitor.
