About this project
What does Lightning Apocalypse add?
⚡ Lightning Apocalypse — Turn the Storm Into Your Weapon ⚡
Lightning isn’t just a weather effect anymore — it’s your ultimate mob-clearing tool. This mod introduces a secret ritual: build a precise structure, meet the conditions, and unleash a lightning bolt that strikes the nearest mob. No random chaos — just controlled thunderous power.
📋 What You’ll Need
- Stormy weather — a thunderstorm must be active (or use
/weather thunderto force it). - Trident with Loyalty — the enchantment is a mandatory part of the ritual.
- 9 Lightning Rods — for the upper layer of the structure.
- 9 Copper Blocks — to form the base.
- A bit of experience — 1 XP point per strike (free in Creative mode).
🛠️ Step‑by‑Step Assembly
- Lay the foundation: place a 3×3 grid of Copper Blocks on the ground — this is your base.
- Build the upper layer: put a Lightning Rod on top of each Copper Block, forming a second 3×3 layer.
- Take position: stand right in the center of the structure.
- Equip the key item: hold the Trident with Loyalty in your main hand.
- Wait for the storm: ensure a thunderstorm is active (or trigger it with
/weather thunder). - Activate the ritual: perform a left‑click in empty air — no block needed.

💥 What Happens Next
- Lightning strikes the nearest non‑player entity (a mob) around you — never the player.
- Each strike costs 1 experience point (Creative mode users get it for free).
- The effect is immediate and dramatic: perfect for clearing out hordes of monsters in one electrifying hit.

😎 The Payoff
You’ve built the structure, waited for the perfect storm, and now you’re commanding lightning itself. One click — and ZAP! — the mobs are gone. Pure, satisfying power.
Now that’s how you bring the apocalypse! ⚡🔥
