Fractal Lightning
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.
Minecraft's default lightning renderer is kind of boring and doesn't even look like lightning in my opinion. So I made it look better.
This mod's lightning renderer generates fractal-like geometry for lightning (hence the name), and dynamically adjusts the amount of geometry generated based on the player's distance to the lightning bolt. This allows lightning to be more detailed only where necessary.
