Tempestra

# **Tempestra** **Tempestra** is a visual overhaul of thunderstorms and lightning. The main goal of this mod is to make thunderstorms feel more interesting and powerful, without making them feel out of place in Minecraft. Vanilla **lightning** is very simple, so **Tempestra** changes it into a much thinner and more natural-looking bolt that arcs through the sky, glows, and can sometimes split before hitting the ground. --- ## **Lightning** **Tempestra** replaces the normal **lightning** visual with a custom **lightning** effect. Instead of being one simple straight bolt, **lightning** now generates with a more curved and broken path, making each strike look different from the last. **Lightning** can also split into separate paths, and in some cases, it can hit the ground in more than one place. This makes **storms** feel a lot more dramatic, especially when multiple strikes happen close together. --- ## **Storms** **Tempestra** also adds stronger storm types. Normal **thunderstorms** still occur, but **storms** can also become more intense, leading to more frequent **lightning**. Medium **storms** are slightly more active than normal thunderstorms, while heavy storms are much more intense and can fill the sky with lightning. This makes thunderstorms feel like something that actually changes the world's atmosphere, rather than just rain with the occasional lightning strike. --- ## **Compatibility** **Tempestra** is meant to be a simple visual improvement, so it works best with other atmosphere-focused mods. I personally recommend using it with mods like **Particle Rain** and **Immersive Thunder**, since they improve the rest of the **storm** while **Tempestra** focuses on the **lightning** itself. It should also fit into almost any modpack, since it is purely visual and still keeps a Vanilla+ feel. It works well in normal survival packs, atmospheric packs, and even fantasy packs that want **storms** to feel stronger and more intense. --- ## **License Information** **Tempestra** is licensed under **Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International**, also known as **CC BY-SA 4.0**.
