I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Lightning Mod
Description:
The Lightning Mod enhances your Minecraft experience by increasing the frequency of lightning strikes during thunderstorms.
Features
- Configurable Lightning Frequency: Adjust the chance of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. Make them incredibly frequent or extremely rare using a simple slider. The lower the value, the more often lightning will strike.
- Skeleton Horse Control: Modify the spawn chance of the "Skeleton Trap" horses that appear from lightning strikes. You can reduce the chance or disable them completely.
- All-Biome Lightning: Enable an option to allow lightning to strike in any biome during a thunderstorm, including deserts, savannas, and mesas. No more safe havens from the storm!
