Lightning Recipes

Important note: This library does not add any new crafting recipes after installation!

This library provides the ability to create custom recipes activated by lightning strikes. When lightning hits a lightning rod, the block underneath it is checked for a linked recipe in the .json file. If a recipe is found, the block transforms into the target block.

This works similarly to how copper blocks change after being struck by lightning in vanilla Minecraft.

How to add a new recipe

To create a new recipe, you need to create a datapack and add a recipe_name.json file at the path /data/lightning_recipes/recipes/.

Example test_recipe.json:

{
    "type": "lightning_recipes:lightning_recipe",
    "input": {
        "item": "minecraft:grass_block"
    },
    "output": "minecraft:diamond_block"
}

In the "input" field, you can also specify a block tag to make the recipe work with all blocks having the selected tag:

{
    "type": "lightning_recipes:lightning_recipe",
    "input": {
        "tag": "minecraft:logs"
    },
    "output": "minecraft:cobblestone"
}

You are free to use this library in your modpacks or for personal use!
