About this project
What does Disable Lightning Render add?
Disable Lightning Render
A small client-side mod that stops lightning bolts from being rendered. The bolt still strikes, sets fires, makes its sound, and the sky still flashes, it's just that don't see the bolt itself.
Works on any server.
Settings
Disable Lightning Render works on its own, with no dependencies. Out of the box, lightning is always hidden.
If S-Lib 4.0.0 or newer is installed, you also get a setting to turn the mod on and off:
- Located in
config/disable_lightning_render.json5ashideLightning. - With YACL installed too, the config button in the mod list opens a config screen with a Hide Lightning toggle.
- The Fabric version also needs Mod Menu to display the config in-game.
