Spooky Scary Thunderstorms
I was once told that thunderstorms in Minecraft resemble blood moons - so I decided to make them truly terrifying!
This datapack introduces two core mechanics related to stormy weather. First, creepers can now spawn as "targets" for lightning strikes. Second, you can use Ominous Bottles at world build height to conjure thunderstorms (under specific circumstances).
Detailed Information
Target Creepers
Creepers have a 15% chance to spawn as lightning targets:
- Sooner or later, such creepers will be struck by lightning
- Technically speaking, every second they have a 5% chance of being hit by lightning
- After transforming into charged creepers, they cease being targets
Conjuring Thunderstorms
Consuming an Ominous Bottle at world build height can trigger a thunderstorm:
- The higher the level of the Ominous Bottle effect, the greater the chance of success
- Each level increases the probability of a thunderstorm by 20%
- "Failure" means that regular rain will start instead of a thunderstorm If (!raining) { // Keep the comment in English here chanceForThunderstorm = ominousEffectLevel * 20; }else { // English comment for rainy conditions thunderstormGuaranteed = true; }
Additionally, consuming an Ominous Bottle of any level while it's already raining guarantees a thunderstorm. This means that in the worst-case scenario, you'll need to drink 2 potions to get a thunderstorm.
